I've always thought HJC helmets fitted me pretty well until I started trying on a bunch at CycleGear and realized just how loose the HJC was around my cheeks and firm against my forehead. They are round and that's exactly how you'd expect an oval head to feel.

I can confirm that my old RF-1000 was defective. This X-11 is no louder at city street speeds than my HJC and around 40 mph it's noticeably quieter (this is WITH all the vents open). I'll get it on the highway tomorrow and see how the venting and noise is at 70.

It's odd really, I've been thinking I was more of an oval fit all this time and from the look of how they're classifying most of the helmets that have fit me, I'm actually a round?!
