RF1100 sizing?
Hi there,
I have a Shoei head, now wear an RF1000, and it's time for a new helmet. The last couple of Shoeis have been size Large. At the motorcycle show, I tried on a large RF1100 and it seemed a bit loose. The M fit snug - like I'd expect a new helmet to feel - but was extremely difficult to get on, as the head opening was a challenge for my nose and ears.
Does the interior padding come in varying thickness? I'm thinking of a large with thicker pads.
Thanks.

Shoei does make different thickness pads for their helmets. But I would recommend going with the helmet that fits snug. What you described as far as being a little hard to get on but fitting once on is the way they are designed.

I just bought the RF 1100 and I bought a large because I tried it on several times and it seemed to fit. After a week or two of having it I wish I would have got a medium because the large is very snug putting it on and taking it off but it floats around on my head a bit while riding. I am waiting until Shoei makes new padding and I will get all thicker padding to compensate for the loose fit.
On the large - the cheeks fit snug but the rest of the helmet is loose
