that is the exact problem I am facing, there is only one place in my area that carries helmet brands like bell and Pyrotect. Their pricing doesn't come close to comparing to online sites and their selection isn't great either. I think I am going to closely look into saferacer.com and see what their return policy is, especially in regards to shipping before I order.

For autox only use, where a crash is highly unlikely and speeds are low, is there any reason for a full face aside from looks?

Seems open face may be lighter, cooler, more convenient for drinking fluids, etc. Are they actually lighter than the "light" full face ones in the low 3.x lb range?

Are there any decent looking open faces? Can't stand this one, lol.

So now I've got 2 helmets that don't fit me. Anyone interested in a brand new:

Zeronine Z9-APX SA2010, White, Small, <3.2 lbs
http://www.saferacer.com/zeronine-z9...productid=2387

or

Pyrotect Pro Airflow SA2010, Duckbill, White, Medium, <3.37 lbs
http://www.soloracer.com/pyrotectprod.html

These are two of the lightest helmets in the $300 range.

Not to say : "I told you so", but I had the same experience, you should read my post above. I ended up trying many brands to find only 2 that fit me properly: Arai and Scorpion. I wanted Bell, Zeronine or Simpson: none fitted me correctly. Not even Shoei, HJC or the other brands I tried.

Now, I doubt that anyone would buy a helmet in a place other than a shop, because it is:
1) a safety item
2) an item that needs to be tried on, and from a private seller, you cannot return it if it doesn't fit.
