When buying a helmet. Remember this. Motorcycle and car helmets are built to different standards. And when you are trying helmets on. Make sure that it's not loose, or too tight.

But they do loosen up as you wear them.

SA2010 full face for sure.

I'm still running a Bell SA2005, but I got it brand new for $70 since I have a abnormally small head and the store was going out of business

Helmets do break in. You want a helmet that fits snug without having any pressure points on your skull. Or too loose, that you can lift the helmet off your head without pulling the straps apart. Everybodys head is a different shape. Round, round oval, oval, long oval. It's best to try the helmet on before you buy. If you get a helmet over the web. Make sure that you can return it after you have tried it on.

Each helmet maker has their own sizing methods too.
