So i just got an rx-7 corsair. At first it feels great but after about 30 minutes of riding i seem to develop a slight headache. It seems to be from pressure on my head. The part i find intersting is that its not pressure from the forhead or the sides, its from the top. It almost feels like the helmet is really heavy weighing down on the top of my head. what gives? any suggestions?

That is no good. There should be a little bit of pressure all around your head. Have you tried a smaller size RX-7? The weight should be more evenly distributed around your whole noggin, but if it is not a size issue, one of the other differently shaped models could be more comfy.

Maybe check out their head-shape page. There is a pdf explaining different head shapes and what not. Really just sounds like you have one size too big...
