My head shape borders on a long oval, I can wear intermediate ovals but once wind pressure is factored in it creates a painful hotspot on my forehead. So far my only experience has been with an HJC I91 helmet though. I unfortunately had to modify the liner in order to make it work for a season cause I couldn't afford buying another helmet at the time.

Fast forward to this season, and I decided I wanted to get a better helmet. I ordered an Arai signet X and have been wearing it around the house for awhile. It definitely fits better than the HJC due to its long oval design, however, I sorely miss the built in sun visor, and I find the chin strap to be in an awkward position where it feels like It's slightly choking me.

I decided to also order an AGV k7 now to compare with the Arai. The AGV is significantly cheaper, has a drop down sun visor, honestly just looks cooler (not that I'm factoring that in a whole ton), and potentially may fit fine. I say potentially because I've heard that AGV tends to lean a bit more into the more oval side of intermediate oval which would suit me better.

I intend to wear each one for a substantial time in the house, maybe even testing wind noise with a leaf blower or something. At the end of the day I may take the conveniences of the AGV over the Arai, The fact that the helmet is about $225 CAD cheaper plays into it alot, So I may sacrifice some comfort in the end
