Does the TZ-1 fit your head correctly?

I've got a TZ1. I like it. It fits my head very snugly and is fairly light and quiet.
It tends to fog up on rainy days so I fitted a Fog City visor liner.
As Conq says you should try one on before buying it. But most people end up with helmets that are too big even after trying them on.

It is a good helmet - my son had one. But you should always check to see how it will fit your head first. There are significant differences in how a particular helmet will fit a particular melon.

I dont think you could go wrong with any shoei but Whip is right...

I tried a Racer 1, and Arai RX... but neither one fit right.

Went and tried on my x11 and it fit like a glove

I like mine. I also have a x-11 and its is a better helmet, particulary being lighter and better ventelated.

Yep, try one on first! From what I've read here on the .org, Shoei and Arai fit very different shaped heads.
