Helmet fit - AGV Corsa
Posted: 05 Jul 2015, 15:47
As some of you may know i bought an AGV Corsa helmet last year at the NEC.
AGV do this helmet in a Medium Small and a Medium large and i took ages deciding which to buy as the ML seemed a tad to large ( actually it fitted perfectly at the NEC but i always think a new helmet shouldn't be a perfect fit straight away as they should all take a little bedding in) and the MS seemed a little tight though i stood wearing it for 10 mins at the NEC stall and though it was very very snug it didn't pinch or cause a headache.
I have only been wearing it whilst riding the 748 as it is an out and out race helmet and the shell is the same as worn by Guy Martin and Rossi and have to admit i was close to putting it up for sale as it just seemed to snug.
But suddenly in the last two rides it seems to be a perfect fit and i know longer think about it whilst riding.
Just shows you should never give up too soon. IIRC the Shoei GT Air i bought seemed a bit snug too when i bought that but its perfect now.
I think to wear this particular helmet on the Multi would just not work as i have found that you need to have the chin bar quite high on your face. When in the sports crouch it gives a hug field of vision but sat upright the chinbar obscures some vision.
I have to say though the build quality is up there with the very best and its beautifully made.
