Note, the HJC sizing chart was off for me - according to it, I should wear a large - an XXL fits me perfectly! It would be best to try a HJC helmet on for sizing before buying.

Most local motorcycle shops will have end of season clear outs right now, check them out for sizing and you may also get a good deal.
personally I will always shop local when possible, if the price is $50-$100 difference, ok shop online. but if we are talking $5... shop local!

Yup, I always try local first. A road trip to Ogdensburg is quick and free shipping in the states can sometimes tip the balance.

Any tips in getting proper fit when trying on locally? Should my face be squeezed until eyes are bulging?

Ottawa Good Times Center has decent selection. Any other local recommendations?

It should be quite snug, but comfortable enough to wear for at least 30 minutes. Depending on the shape of your head, different brands may fit better. When you try one on, leave it on for a few minutes to make sure it's not too tight.
