Should I replace my 5500 helmet with a re-akt, krown or a v08 helmet?  I like the fit of the 5500 but the 7500 d oesn't fit me as well.

Love my V08 but go with whatever fits you best.

I prefer my 9900 over the re-akt. Whatever fits your head best is gonna keep you safest though

I found the Re-Akt fit closest to a 5500.  I own both helmets, the V08 and V10 as well.  Make sure you try it on all of them because for the Re-Akt and V08 I was on the smaller side of a medium shell and for the V10 and 5500 I was on the larger side of a medium.  It's not uncommon to go down a shell size for the Re-Akt.  The Krown was nowhere close to fitting comfortably.
