Comfort is key. I have one, and it fits me well, but try it on first. A couple of years ago, while shopping for a new lid for my boy, we learned that HJC has at least on youth model with 2 different shapes. Externally, the only difference was in the graphic design, but while one fit him well, the other was made for someone with a more rounded head shape. They were the same size. Shoei has also been know to do this, but they make it a little more public. If you want better venting, then you will probably need to fork out more green.
