Hi new here, so hope I have posted in right section...
AGV Stealth Helmet :
https://www.revzilla.com/product_images/0012/1715/AGV_Sport_Stealth_Helmet_Gloss_Black_zoom.jpg
I have read numerous sites on checking/measuring head size and correct fitment etc.
I am 54cm and would say round head
Going with AGV Site it recommends the XS Helmet....so went to check out some helmets
Tried a few on, as I Have an Xlite 801RR which is a small I tried a few of AGV's Small Stealths on first... quite a bit of movement side to side, tried the XS on ..no probs.
On the XS my nose just touches the nose piece (not sure of technical term) and the chin strap
is quite a bit to the left, is there a way of adjusting this as its the Double D with the clip?
The clip itself once I have helmet on and through the loop the clip is hard to get at, nearly hidden..

If anyone has had experience with this or know of a solution please let me know.

As I like the style of the helmet and when I first seen the XS thought to myself aint know way this is going on my head looking at it...but fits good

I am afraid your skull shape is not curvy enough for AGV helmets.
Same thing happened to me and I ended up with a Marushin lid.

Is it not possible if the strap is not long enough to lengthen it?
(maybe chop it take it to tailor and add a bit on)

As the helmet fits ok...just the tip of my nose touches the nose guard and because I am use to a chin curtain feels as though my chin is a bit lower than the helmet, maybe just me.

Oh sorry, I thought your nose was touching to helmet itself. Embarassed

It sounds like the AGV Stealth doesn't fit you well, if it did then you wouldn't need to work out how to adjust the length of the strap.

Try on as many lids as possible and you'll find what lid gives you the best fit and that's the lid for you, you can't decide which lid to buy without trying lots of them on. You should be buying a helmet based on fit rather than style, once you've found which lid fits best then you see what colours and designs it's available in.

Its gotta be comfortable with you, if you go for a face-plant, chances are your nose is gunna get a knocking Razz as above best way is to first find a helmet that fits, then get the style you like Very Happy

AGVs are a bit weird for me too, I have a GP tech sitting on a shelf as it doesn't fit right. The cheek pads bedded in too much and the lid sits way too low to be of any use when you are tucked over; you need a cone head to get it to fit right and for you to be able see properly without your chin hanging out the bottom.


Unfortunately, I decided that it didn't fit right £400 too late Surprised .
