Default Helmet sizes

Well, with the bigger bike and more experience, I have decided I am ready to start riding 2 up. My wife has been ready for awhile to start riding with me. So, I started the fun loving task of helmet shopping with her. Of course, she is picky and concerned mostly the way a helmet looks on her. Finally I got her decided on a style- one of those flip up modular full face helmets. The reason behind on of these instead of a regular full face is because she wears glasses. I went to a shop that carried AFX-found out she is a youth L. Problem is-no ones seems to make modulars in youth sizes. Tried the Honda place next-they carry Fulmer. Same deal, she is a youth L. Well, I am thinking she will just have to go regular full face. This weekend I go to the Suzuki shop to buy her an HJC like mine. In HJC it turns out she is an adult S, so we were able to go modular with HJC. Just a story I thought I'd share. Might be useful to someone in the helmet shopping market.
