I was about to bid on ebay to buy my first motorcycle helmet. And I realized, I have no idea what size I am. I measured my circumference of my head with a flexible ruler and it roughly came out to be 24 inches, or 64 cm. Now this is where I got confused because in hats, I wear a size S/M. Whereas in the motorcycle chart , I'd be a size XXL ?? Wtf
Answer
Mine is right about 24", too, and I wear an XL helmet.
As uncomfortable as it may sound, you want a motorcycle helmet to fit tightly.
Quick easy check is to put it on, grab the chin area and pull it down (hold your head still).
If the helmet slides down over your eyes, it's too large.
You may not be able to try on the one you're looking at on eBay, but maybe visit a local bike shop and try on a few, then go buy the one you want in the proper size.
See the source link for an example on proper sizing.
Finally, if an XL simply feels too tight... get an XXL. Slightly too big is going to be way better than riding around getting a headache and having a red spot on your forehead all day.

Answer
try on every one thats under 200.
select the ones you like best.
try them on again.
cut the list down.
see what one offers you more. air,vents, and so on.
then what one is best price.
dont ever go out and get the most priced one. your goin to fall, hit your head and you want somethin to be there for protection. not just to loog good.
once you hit 1 time you have to buy a new one. i race dirt bikes. i use to have to buy all mine my self. i never went over 145 for mine.

you will be suprised in how many dif size will fit you.
