Ive had a couple of years off bike bar the odd trackday but am now back into daily use.

I had a Arai Chaser (M) and AGV GP (L) and the arai used to fit well but the AGV used to pinch slightly round my jaw. Pulled them both back out and neither fit properly with the AGV pinching in different places.

Has my head swollen up with all the bollocks I have been talking the past few years?!

Ive purchased a new one but my other question is what to do with the old helmets? ebay? Is there any market for used helmets? Im not sure I would trust a new one thats been packaged and sent by someone off ebay.
I dont need any new planters before it is suggested  :)

despite the doom mongering i've sold a couple of barely used second hand lids on ebay with no issues..

I'd buy a second hand lid if it really does look mint with good description etc..

Sorry...... Had to show what I did with mines. Tho they were really old lids.

And I wouldn't have a major problem purchasing a used lid. Circumstances and condition obviously.

I don't know if your head changes shape as you get older. Doubt it.

I couldn't possibly comment on whether you talk bollocks, but I suppose the foamy bits do deteriorate/solidify over time without use so that could explain why they don't fit well now.

You can put them on ebay, and as long as you're 100% honest then it's up to the buyer to decide whether they want a second hand lid.

I used to give my old lids (and back in the day I went through them like y fronts) to a chap who did custom paint jobs to use as practice
