Just under two weeks.
I was hoping it would give a bit, but I feel like it's putting too much pressure on my cheeks, and I'm not sure if it'll give there.
In the shop I tried it on out of curiosity and was surprised it fit well, albeit a close fit, the next size up felt too big. Tried on the delivered one and felt the same. But after a while I feel like it's too much.
The fucker is its so much nicer than my old helmet. Not just the weight and lining, etc., but how it feels when riding at speed - there's basically no drag or buffeting on my head. Definitely sold on AGV as a brand (and not just because of Rossi ;).

Does anyone want to buy a helmet?
I feel like a mug, but I think I’ve got to admit to myself that I’ve bought a helmet that’s slightly too small. I’m absolutely gutted as it’s exactly what I wanted and while I am trying quite hard to save money I seem to be wasting it left, right and centre.
AGV GT Veloce GTX (Black and Gun Metal Grey)
Size: M/S 57-58cm (I would say it’s more 57cm than 58cm cheeks and skull cap can be tweeked)
Shell: Carbon-kevlar
Pinlock: Clear one fitted & included
Sharp Rating: 5 star

Asides from the general blurb you can find anywhere I’d say it’s a great helmet. You can tell it’s quality, better than the cheaper Arais. Loads of nice touches, like extra padding for the cheeks (lol), nice and small shell (sobs), adjustable skull cap, brilliant visibility – it really is good both height and width. Good ventilation.
Less than 2 weeks use. I’ve registered the helmet to get the 5yr warranty – obviously happy to help inforce that down the line if needs be.
If you’re within sensible riding distance from the City, or live north I’m happy to ride over after work if you want to try it.
