Hi to all the members on this forum!!!

or
Schuberth Qm1 street 340euro 1360gr light and not so nice design grp shell

Buy whichever one fits you the best, that is one of the most important things Those two helmets probably offer little over each other, except mabey a nice colour scheme.

Make sure you /do/ try them on before buying, none of this buying on ebay nonsense.

Go to a proper bike shop and try on as many as you can until you find one that fits. If you are not sure if you know if it fits, then ask someone in the shop or someone who has ridden bikes before.

There is a definite procedure to checking if a helmet fits. I'm sure its on this forum somewhere...

Anyway, whatever happens, if you buy an ill fitting helmet, its almost as bad as no helmet at all!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Best advice is to try them on.
I'd have loved a Schuberth as it was on offer but my head just wasn't the right shape

I tried the ogk and the fit was quite good (not great) i have an oval head 56cm ,i will go and try schuberth also .
Someone told me that ogk helmets are for round headed people and i have to try a kbc because i have oval head.

I am completly confused and i have to buy one quick!!!!

(best fit for me was arai astro r but 600euros is too much for me)
