So I have taken a good dinger or two on my 4 year old (I think) Fox V4. I ordered up a newer Fox V3 with mips online and the same size medium is too small and doesn't come down on my head, it feels like there are a few inches above the top of my head. I think the large would be to big. So I happened to be near a shop a few hours away and tried on a Fly F2 carbon and it fit well thought like the Fox it's not all that light. I am 145 lbs and after a full day of technical moto or snowmobiling I can really start feeling the weight. It's also very bulky, perhaps part of that is the Snell certification. I don't know much about the . So I had my eye on a Suomy Alpha as the it's about a half a pound lighter than either the Fox V3 or the Fly F2. I do like the MIPS but not 100% needed (hopefully). The Airoh looks good but no reputable US dealers so I don't want to buy something from Italy and have it not fit or have problems getting parts. I don't live near any shops that carry Suomy. Anyone have one that can say how it fits compared to newer Fly F2 carbon and /or Fox V3 mips helmets. I also tried on a friends Bell moto 9 carbon and that fit OK but felt a little more round so I think I might have a more oval head. Plus they are pretty pricey for being about the same weight as a Fox or Fly Carbon. Any help, thoughts or advice is much appreciated. I also run Oakley Crowbar goggles with prescription inserts so I would like something with a good size opening so they fit as well (I do take off the nose piece so it's easier to get on). THANKS
