Wink FS: Arai GP-5W Helmet - White

Any track junkies out there need an awesome helmet?

I have a Arai GP-5W (white) size large. It's practically brand new.
Reason for selling is that it won't fit my odd head. I need an XL.
This retails close to $1000 and lowest price I've seen goes for $824.
I'm selling this for $600.
There's tiny imperfection at the rear of the helmet, barely noticeable.

Here is some info.
Wider Eyeport and Vents for Closed Cockpit race cars. SA-05

Finally, a helmet designed specifically for use inside a closed
cockpit race car. A very similar design and specification as the
previous models, but with some ventilation changes and a 90mm eyeport
(compared to previous 72mm). All of this, and the same formula that
sets Arai apart through lightweight design, superbly strong shells and
a perfect fit interior, make this the new helmet the one to have.

Features:

* New 90mm eyeport (compared to previous 72mm)
* Consturcted of Arai's SCLC (Super Complex Laminate Construction)
for light weight and rigidity
* Removable, washable and replaceable cheek pads
* Pre-drilled for HANS device. Also a special molded seat for the
HANS posts.
* Two intake and exhaust vents for improved closed cockpit ventilation.


Here are pics of it:

Barry, just for having a ballpark measurement, what size hat/fitted cap do you wear?

This helmet might actually fit me if Arai sizes tend to run small.
