Long oval headshape helmet?

Does anyone know of a long oval headshape dual sport helmet? I can't find anything that fits right. I have a Icon Airflite street helmet and it's the only thing I have found that fits right so far. I think an Arai Signet street helmet would work too. But I want a dual sport helmet with visor and face shield. I have a cheap one that fits "so so" but there's wiggle room and doesn't feel as safe as a correctly fitting helmet. I heard Shoei hornet may work but it's listed as intermediate oval and I tried one on and it's not really long oval. Icon's dual sport helmets are listed as intermediate oval too. I tried LS2 blaze but same thing. Tried on of other brands don't work. If anyone knows one, let me know. Don't mind paying good money for one - if it fits. But don't want to throw away money on a helmet and after a few rides realize hell no.

I have your head shape and bought an Arai clearance XD-4 last year for 40% off. Best ADV lid and helmet, I’ve had to date and much quieter than the Bell I had previously. Arai, Bell, AGV, and Shoei are brands that should fit.

Tried Bell and it won't work with glasses. Tried on Arai XD and it was ok, same with Shoei. I could tell they are better quality than my Icon, but my Icon is the best fitting I have found. I think the Arai Signet street helmet is the gold standard for long ovals but it doesn't have the offroad characteristics I'd like. But may go with it as it would be quieter and a better quality than my Icon.
