I ordered one of these off Chainlove when it was like $60:

Got a L 'cause that's what I wear in a Shoei. I know they all vary to some degree or another so I replaced it with an XL. It's still tight. Better but it'll still bug me.

I looked in my Shoei and it says L 59-60cm. Tried it on again and it's tight but comfortable. The 661 says XL 60-62cm and it's still tight and not so comfortable.

I need to find someone that carries a nice selection to try a few on. I won't mind spending a little more locally as long as I'll be able to get one that I like without returning it a half a dozen times. Plus, the Flight II is a full DOT-approved helmet which is probably a little overkill for MTBing. It was pretty big and heavy and something lighter would be a bonus.

I haven't been to a lot of the shops in town but I have to say I was impressed with the selection at All Mountain Cyclery at Bootleg Canyon. I'm hoping there's a shop here with a similar selection.

Rage usually has a good selection in stock, maybe give them a call to see if they what you're looking for. Cactus is also good, can't remember what brands they stock though..

Got my Remedy at Rage.

Rage has several and even a few on sale when I was in maybe 10 days ago. Be prepared not to pay $60.

i just bought the same helmet. in xl... im really hoping it fits well on my noggin. otherwise im in the same boat as you. ive been to several little bike shops in the area and havent found anything good. i know that KORE bikes in northern tempe/scottsdale carries DH helmets, they didnt have anything i liked though, maybe you will have more luck there.

Now on Chainlove:

Fox Rampage DH Helmet

$60.00.

 

[DesertCrawler]

Those are decent lids. Tried one on. I think I liked it better than the 661 I have but the Fox sure wasn't $60 at the time.

I don't know about you, but after sweating and wearing my helmet a couple of time the inside tends to pack out a small amount.

I don't know about you, but after sweating and wearing my helmet a couple of time the inside tends to pack out a small amount.

I thought about that as well but those pads would have to compress quite a bit to make it comfortable for hours at a time.
