The bigger the head the bigger the brain. So people with big helmets look more intelligent than others

Most near ALL manufacturers use this method of changing the lining to adjust the size.

Real do 2 different size shells for most of the range (same as HJC)

others do 3 but its getting rare. THE only real difference is that REAL find it easier to stock linings at shows rather than different boxes of helmets.

OK, this would makes sense. Using at least 2 sizes for the shell and adjusting the "head fitting size" with different thickness of lining (thanks for giving the correct term for what i called "cushion").

But:

The GJ-998 is available from size S up to XXL:

• S (55-56 cm)
  
• M (57-58 cm)
  
• L (59-60 cm)
  
• XL (61-62 cm)
  
• XXL (63-64 cm)
  

Semper now has a shell labelled "Size M" with a lining wich is labelled "Size XL" (see first post). This would mean that the shell for size M up to size XL has to be similar.

Either the GJ-998 has only one shell size or the shop did something wrong. It would be strange if they would make two different shells that are only used for the sizes S and XXL.

Or am i missing something?

I bought two GJ-998's a few weeks ago. An 'L' for me, and an 'S' for my gf - which is actually the 'small' cushioning in a 'M' shell. Looks massive on her tiny head!

I just measured both shells - they are identical.
