I swear I'm in between sizes on every glove & helmet available. My first helmet was a large HJC CL-16. Though I thought it was the perfect size at the time, it ended out being too big on me. 2 years later it moves around on me way too much. My head measures at 58cm, which should be a medium according to ever sizing chart I've seen. I tried on a medium Shoei Qwest a while ago and I thought it fit perfectly. After buying it and wearing it around the house, I started getting a head ache and my nose started to touch the front of the helmet. I ended out returning it and getting a large RF-1100, which I think finally fits perfect. I may have to get thicker cheek pads eventually, but for now it fits fine. So for Shoei I'm a large with thicker cheek pads, HJC I'm definitely a medium, and when I tried on a large AGV I thought my head was in a vice.
Gloves are not any better. I know many brands run small, but most gloves are either too tight or have an extra half inch of room on the end of my thumb. This can be annoying when using my turn signals, but besides that I'm learning to deal with it. Plus my left hand is a little smaller than my right. I think my left is a little bigger than a large, and my right is a little smaller than an XL....lol. Of course up both those sizes with Alpinestars and other brands like that.
Boots are a little better. Sometimes I'm a 13 and other times I'm a 12. Luckily I got the right size for both pairs I bought in the last couple years. Jackets & pants are usually perfect. I'm 6'3, so most overpants have fit perfectly on me.
So, this is my rant for the day... :BLAA:
