I went to stores for Arai, Shoei, HJC and Bell and they all said that they don't have the size of helmet I am looking for and they won't order it in just so I can test it. Frustrating from a consumer's standpoint but I understand it from a business perspective.

I wound up going with the M4 because it has the best properties (wide eyeport, predrilled HANS, SA2010). I didn't get to try it on until it showed up at my door which I was dreading.

I had the same problems in Canada, hell everywhere I went the helmet I wanted was special order, they didn't even stock a single one.

I didn't get to try mine until I had it in my hands either, luckily I did my measuring correctly (the wife helped) and it's only a tad snug, but not enough to cause any kind of discomfort. I was actually worried it was going to be loose which would have been a disaster.
