Went a little cheap on my first helmet and bought an Icon ($145). It looks cool but after about an hour on the road the thing is killing my forehead, I mean it feels like a horse kicked me in the head. Been researching helmets and think I'm probably a "long oval" head shape which is why the Icon has such a wicked pressure point on my forehead. A buddy suggested trying out an Arai, apparently the Profile model is designed with long oval heads in mind. I've also tried on some Shoei helmets. Both were comfortable but long term comfort is my problem and its very hard to tell if a helmet will turn in to a torture device after an hour of wear unless you hang at the cycle store wearing the thing for that long. Anyone have a similar experience with a helmet killing their forehead? What helmet did you go with as a replacement? I'm not opposed to dropping $400 to $500 on a helmet but it MUST fit right. Thanks.
