After trying my dads shoei hornet, I decided to purchase my own. The fit is amazing, by far the most comfortable helmet I have ever owned and compare to an arai road helmet I tried it is fairly comfortable to ride for long periods of time even though it has the motocross style visor. I would recommend this helmet to anybody who is looking for an adventure riding helmet.
Rides: 2008 Kawasaki KLR650

does the Shoei Hornet helmet fit a round head?
I just tried the Arai XD3 in an XL and it was much too narrow for my head. I have a round to earth shaped head and I wear an Arai Ram III helmet in an XL which fits very comfortably. I was wondering if the Shoei Hornet in an XL or 2XL fit a round head that won't fit into an Arai XD3.
From my experience arai helmets don't fit me very well, however I own two shoei helmets (including the hornet) and it fits perfect. I would consider a shoei xl because I had the same issue with the arai xd3 where it was too narrow for my head whereas the shoei does not press against my forehead or anywhere else for that matter.
