Shoei Neotech 3 Helmet

Certainly can respect your right, but what does this have to do with the original post, other than the fact you have zero experience with modular helmets ???

Bingo, we have a winner.

No disrespect, but I'd never buy a used helmet. There's no telling how many times the PO has dropped it, had it around
solvents, splashed a little gasoline on it, used his mirror as a helmet holder, etc. I've never had the need to protect my
noggin, but if it happens I want to KNOW the helmet is up to the task. I'll buy a ton of used stuff, no problem, but not
a helmet. And not underwear.

A big no to both. A helmet is designed and made for a one-time event. Depending on the severity of that one-time event, the helmet may appear structurally sound but it has been compromised to some degree.

With the few brain cells I have left, I want to keep them all. Saving a few dollars for someone else’s helmet that you do not know the history of isn’t a good investment IMHO.

As for the underwear, that’s pretty obvious!

Do be aware that HJC modulars are shaped more for round coconuts while Shoei is for more oval-shaped coconuts. HJC was instant migraine for me but Neotec perfect. For me 2021 will be new brain bucket year but am damned if I'll pay for built in headset I don't need as replacement for perfectly fine Sena 20S EVO. Will have some shopping to do.

I would agree...mostly. The HJC RPHA line (their higher end lids) are a bit more oval shaped than the rest. I'll definitely agree that the Shoei is oval and fits ME perfectly. In 40 years of riding, Shoei has been the ONLY lid I've worn straight out of the box that needed NO fitting or break in time. I took my current Neotech 2 out of the box, put it on and rode an hour home. Other than my eyeglasses fogging up in the frog strangling rain (which has nothing to do with the helmet), I had ZERO complaints. I've never so much as considered tweaking the EPS. When I'm due for a new lid, I won't consider anything else unless Shoei quits making helmets.

HAGO!

I must have a pretty generic head as I've had no issues with any helmet I've purchased: Bell, HJC, Shoei, Shuberth, Nolan, and probably several others
I've forgotten. But I never wore a full face helmet until I bought a Bell Star in the late 70"s, but didn't like the restricted vision. And you could buy your
Bell helmet by hat size. Mine was 7 1/4.

I did try on an HJC modular helmet several years ago that fit horribly, but I didn't buy it, just tried it on.

Did you try ebay? I saw a few new ones.
