How exactly?
I tried a neotec 3, it was the most painful lid i have ever tried on, no end of padding is going to make an round lid fit an oval head lol
Maybe you misunderstood me. I was referring to @Dirty Ming post (#14) about returning helmet under SBS’s policy.
I’ve returned a bunch of stuff without issue.
Go ask T**t in the cap. He will tell you all you need to know, and make a lid to fit your melon.
Forgive me Mart, but I am no expert in helmet fitting, so can’t explain exactly how in any meaningful or indeed technical way.
Seems bods haven’t paid any attention for the past 3 years or so, or choose to be uneducated yet again.
As always pick a thing of the shelf, try it on blindly without asking further questions, then swear profoundly that it is an overpriced and uncomfortable object, naturally it has nothing to do with a shape of their melon. Hey ho.
Perhaps your not going to the right shop, there will be a helmet that will fit....see below.

I knew I shouldn't have started this! 
Wessy, yes I did try a Shark but it was not comfortable.

have you considered an orthopaedic angle grinder?
My head is shaped like the xenomorph from the Alien series, I had Motolegends do a PFS on a Neotec 3 and it fits better than any helmet I've owned in 30+ years of owning bikes.
Fun over, down to serious issues. A helmet fitting service is not for everyone as are the standard shop bought helmets, sometimes getting one made to measure is the only way, so good luck.
For someone with an oval-shaped head, it's best to look for helmets specifically designed for that shape, as they provide a snug fit without pressure points. Brands like Shoei and Arai offer models that cater to oval head shapes, ensuring better comfort and safety.

Unless someone knows of something more flexible, then I think Shoei PFS is as close as its possible to get to "made to measure"?
Ha! No, but many moons ago after trying on lot of helmets, the shop guy said maybe you should leave the helmet here and just wear the box.
Rude.
Not all Dealerships are experts in good helmet fitting practise, some customers ending up with poor results when wearing an unsuitable lid, dangerous for the wearer if involved in an accident, and a very expense mistake.

Head Shape and Measurement
Something we hear so often in store is “oh, I must have a odd shaped head”, as a response to our assessment of their head shape. The fact is we all have unique head shapes, just like we have unique finger prints. One size does not fit all. So, let me try to explain, how head shapes vary and...

Should do it:
You can now get photochromatic visors for them as well. Mate's just fitted one to his new RX7 and it seems to do the job well.
