Booked a day's training, then realised I needed a full face helmet. Happy to give up ultimate comfort, light weight, ventilation, fancy doodads like magnetic closures. I'll be using it once in a blue moon, just need the protection, and something that fits.
So Brand X, 661, 7iDP are in the running for starters.
Anyone know if these are narrow/long or rounder fit?
Currently using a Bontrager Quantum, I've had Spesh Tactic before that, but they seem to have gone for a rounder shape, hence moving to the Bonty.
Cheers all!

missed the context - those^ are open face, and Bonty don't make FFers.
I picked up a bargain THE full face from JE James after seeing a recommendation on here- absolute steal at £35. They’re still showing stock although didn’t check sizes. The large I got is definitely on the narrow side, it’s quite tight around the jaw.
Aw! Would have been perfect!
Only large left, and I'm definitely not a large. I'd have happily taken the gopping yellow for £35, though!
"Oval" type head here, so relatively long and narrow. But also very big. Of the FFs I tried Troy Lee was the best fit for me. Mine wasnt cheap though.
Ha! TLD not on my list!
Currently browsing moto lids...
Ned they come up pretty small, I’m normally a med/large and this actually feels a little too tight, I’d say their large is more like a medium.
The 7idp fit is narrower than something like a Bonty or Giro fit. I had to size up from medium (bonty quantum mips) to large with the 7idp because of this. It's a comfy enough lid, but gets hot quite quickly.
borrow one perhaps???
I've a fancy TLD full face (you ain't putting your stinky mug in that)... but i'll see if i can find my older 661..you're welcome to borrow that if i can find it?
I'm coming up to near you this weekend anyway..
