Shape is also important, especially when you have a fat head. I have endured poor fitting helmets for years. I live in Florida, but have spent most of the last two years in the Seattle area for work. No luck finding one in Seattle either, so I drove down to Portland. First I went to Universal cycles and tried on everything and found one helmet that was big enough, but the salesman said it did not fit correctly and refused to sell it to me. He told me I needed a Bishop and gave me a list of other bike shops to try. I tried them and at the 4th one I found an XXL Bishop that fit perfectly, something I had never experienced. I cannot remember the name of the shop but they had restored classic old lugged steel racing bikes from the Campy NR/SR era hanging from the ceiling. Made me regret selling the Masi again, but now I have a helmet that actually fits.
