When I bought my Scorpion Exo I sized my noodle as a medium. Whatever, sizes are weird. I couldn't even get it over my head.
I got a large. I could get it over my fat Polish head but I felt like a Looney Toons character with a fish bowl in my head.
I sent it back again for an extra large.

With this painful, month long ordeal forever burned into my mind, and my first six state ride rapidly approaching I needed a helmet, I didn't want to wait, and I didn't have time to fritter away. I ordered both a large and an extra large.
Turns out, for a half shell, I'm a large.
Now I have a surplus XL helmet here.



This is the "S.O.A. inspired gloss black helmet, with visor".

Their description (including a sizing guide) can be found here:
SOA inspired DOT Beanie Gloss Black With Peak - WSB Inc. Bikerhelmets.com

My review can be found here:
My gourd measured just under 24 inches, circumference. This is why I ordered the large AND extra large - I was right on the cusp of size difference. My large fits me comfortably. I HATE wearing helmets. I found this tolerable for short burns. I was able to itch my head while riding. Coming from a full face, I like that I was still able to drink my coffee. The quick release tab is actually a pleasure - it's like a racheting strap but one pull releases it. It's small. It's lightweight. It's DOT legal. I keep it in my saddle bag just in case.

I paid 110 for it.
I'm asking 80 shipped from 06053. I accept paypal.
I'd take a picture of the actual helmet but I haven't even taken it out of the box.
I'll attach a picture of the box?

if you like i could take it to the yankee rally for you if its not sold by next week and see if anyone's interested...helmets as we all know fit differently from brand to brand size to size and with the opportunity to actually be able to try it on..hey..who knows. Let me know...be more than happy to assist.

Good luck on the sale, however, I think you'd have a better chance of selling it at a somewhat lower price.

Have you considered moving to a state that respects its citizens and more or less keeps their hands out of your wallet? Like Pa for instance?

If I had the Beast Rider like Jim I'd be better off. Mischa is more loyal and I don't have to hear her ****.

As far as moving... I've got too much stuff. I'm limited to states. Not sure about PA.
Arizona, Texas, Florida are good.

easy solution to all this...toss the helmet in the garbage... then you don't have to hear about getting rid of the dog...fortunately for you, you have a sweet gal who loves to ride ...she could always hold the dog in her lap...or you can teach the dog to ride w/you, then you can mod the helmet to fit the dog...then... take a ride to Beezers place and let your dog tame his cat...scary looking creature it is..although its been said pets at some point take on the look of their masters...could be the case w/cayenne...poor thing...having to look like him for the rest of her life. Think I need another cup of coffee...very confusing delimna.

Just a note that might help with the sale. I just picked up basically the same helmet from the same supplier, just in flat with no visor. I found that it ran very true size wise to the Gmax half shells, local dealers normally have those on the shelf that you could test the fit. While the Gmax will have more padding and feel softer up against your melon, the sizing fit is the same.
Good luck with the sale.
