Hey Denny - I have both (size M) and confirm the fit is the same...

Infact I bought my XD3 while I was in the States too... they are exactly the same as the UK version, however be aware that a US helmet won't be E marked, it will only have the US 'DOT' marking on it rather than the EU markings and ACU Gold sticker you'd get on a UK model.

In practice it doesn't matter - unless you want to go racing with it in the UK when you'll might 'technically' need an ACU sticker - although anyone who knows that helmet, knows it meets all the safety standards, and plenty of helmets that have been painted have the original stickers removed anyway...

As far as the extremely unlikely event that you get stopped and inspected by Plod, either they won't realise, or if they are clued up, will know it is the same helmet anyway... If you get any crap, tell them that "Jenny says she raced to Dakar with an XD3, and if it's good enough for the FIM it should be good enough for them!"

If that does't work, punch them x

Jx
