Default Got my new lid

So I got my Exo-750 eternity helm today. I decide to go with a medium cause I figured it'd break in some and fit better vs going with a large. I notice that my chin is very close to the "mouth?" part of the helmet (if that makes sense) I am just wondering how snug everyone elses helmets fit.

Just so you know you can put in large cheek pads to give you some more room. The larger pads are thinner for the medium shells. I bought a large exo-700 last year and it was a good fit until it broke in but I could not put thicker pads in as there are 2 shell sizes for the scorpion helmets. So give it a couple of weeks and see how it breaks in if its still to tight try a cheek pad swap or move to the large helmet.

i think once it breaks in and forms to my head it will be fine. it feels a lot lighter and better than my old one that is for sure.

Great looking helmet. I was very happy with my EXO400 until I picked up this Shoei. I used to think the Shoei's and Arai's were hugely overpriced, but then I made the mistake of trying them on...

Well this thread is perfectly timed haha I wrecked about two months ago luckily wearing all my gear like always but I had on a 707 helmet while it kept my brains on the inside and I only walked away with a mild concussion I want to make sure my next helmet is better so now to my question I've narrowed it down to icon alliance or the scorpion 400 this is the best I can afford for the time being which one would u all recommend
