Crash Helmet

[Roadru77er]

Hi I'm looking for a helmet, however I'm having real problems finding one that fits! I don't think I have a particularly large head and I can find helmets that fit around the top of my head the problem I have is the chin bar is too close/touching my chin/nose (I really don't want an open face helmet) I have tried upto something like XXXXXL which was too big up top but still too tight around my jaw. The only thing I can think of is a Simpson Bandit (I tried one on years ago and had my picture taken as I was wearing a "STIG" T-shirt at the time and remember it fitting well!) The problem is there are no Simpson dealers near me to try one out and is it OTT for track day use? Perhaps it's the "snout" of The Bandit that helped any advice/wisdom would be welcomed.

Thanks Iguana I've been to many bike shops tried on many helmets I really don't think I've got a Buzz Lightyear/Brucie/Jimmy Hill chin nor a Barry Manilow nose however I seem to have a problem with space around my lower face. Helmets I've tried Lazer Nitro Box AGV Shoei Arai Caeberg and probably more! Don't know what to do it so frustrating.

Thanks Muffy I've tried M/X helmets and still found them too tight though they didn't touch my chin they pinched my cheeks I would also prefer a helmet with a visor most M/X helmets need goggles will take another look at Arai

Thanks Mike not even considering it as a solution. Really want something in front of my face should the worst happen.
