My Shoei RF-1000 in size L has always been very comfortable....quite snug around my head, but has always been just a tad loose against my face, unlike my size L Shark helmet, which is quite tight around my cheeks. I did try a Medium, but couldn't even get it over my ears. The RF-1000 comes with replaceable cheek pads, in different thicknesses. The Large comes with 35mm thick pads. I bought a pair of 37mm cheek pads and it's like night and day.
With the original pads, my helmet would twist sideways slightly on my face when I turned my head sideways at speeds over 120kph. With the thicker pads, my helmet stays put, like it was bolted to my face.
2mm a side made a world of difference, both to comfort and safety. :thumbup:
