You might give the Caberg another shot. I've read a post where someone thought theirs was tight, but within a few hundred miles they found it seemed to mold to their head. It is a great value compared to the top shelf helmets. Metal catches, functional one button release, quick disconnect strap and the drop down sunvisor. I've lived with mine for about 16k miles and it has been great.
I'd like to try the Caberg again, but haven't been able to locate a dealer around here. The HJC didn't feel too bad (although the chin strap seemed a little too far back). Webikeworld really liked the Vega, but I tried one and it seemed a little flimsy to me - I suppose you get what you pay for, as they're very inexpensive. No one around here is stocking the Multitech yet. Oh well, I have a Shoei X11 that I like a lot, so I have some time to look for a spare helmet.
