It was time to junk my HJC and get a new helmet so I decided to go with ICON. My HJC was XL, and per the ICON sizing chart I should have been a L or XL. I bought the helmet in XL off ebay for a great price - alliance SSR Americana and it just arrived today.
I tried it on, and it feels very very snug and it's a lot more narrow than my HJC. It pushes my cheeks in to where they scrape against my teeth, and the sides of the helmet rub pretty hard against my cheek bones when I try to take it off.
I'm thinking this isn't a good fit. Has anyone else had an experience with ICON helmets running on the small side? They do sell replacement cheek pads that are 5mm smaller and maybe that'd help, but I"m afraid I should probably just try to sell this helmet and get a larger size. It's not been used on a ride yet, and I still have the original box, tags, and paperwork.
