BMW Enduro helmet - too tight or slack?

[squid]

Tried a couple on today. I was really looking for a flip or open type but not found any I like . Flips feel heavy to me.

So tried the Enduro and was very impressed with the view out of the window.

I'd have bought one but couldn't make up my mind about the size. I have a Shoei Raid which at 59/60 fits snug but never hurts.

I tried the Enduro in a 59/60 and it perhaps felt a little bit tight on the forehead and around the ears.

The 61/62 felt roomier but wonder if it will verge on slack after a bit of wear.

Tried them both on a few times aand still not sure how they might feel after a week.

Never had anything other than Shoei before.

I have heard similar comments from other people trying the Enduro on. Personally I found it a bit tight at first but now can ride for hours and hours with no problem at all. Still tight to get on and off though.

Almost too tight when I bought it, but now super comfy! Better than my System 5

They are quite tight to put on if you've got a decent set of ears
I had my 1st one for 10 months and it slackened of nicely,just got a new one under warranty nice and tight again

Mine pressed so hard into my forehead that I had to take it off after 30 mins. Took it back to Ocean in plymouth and they did a mod that the factory had forgotten, but it still hurt so swapped it for a tank bag and other bits and bought a tour-x instead

never noticed - is there a mech to stop the visor completely closing?

My Shoei has a lever at the side - press and it opens and holds the visor a little.

Also, anyone actually use them with goggles? Thought I might see if they would do a deal with a pair if I bought a lid.

No lever or button to stop it completely closing. However as you close it it has a position which it clicks into just before completely shut. Actually getting it shut takes an extra push past this position. Also opening it easily clicks it to this first position and then an extra push to get it up to fully open.

Mind you most of the time I ride with it fully open, only use the visor when it rains, though come to think about it that happens a lot

Went back to BM today to try the bleeders on again.

This time the 59/60 only seemed tight around the ears. I even pulled on a 57/58 just to remind me what tight really is!

I thought sod it I'll take a change and buy one.

Got home and the one new out of the box for some reason feels a better fit than the one in the shop. Pehaps John Merrick had been in trying them on too.

Anyway, now have one and it feels ok around the house and deffo much improved perif vision.

Suprised there is not an opening vent at the mouth though - would have been easy to incorporate. Will know more once I have tried it on the bike.

Do you mind me asking what failed to get a new one under warranty?

Thanks
