The main the first issue when your buying one is that you want to make sure that it fits you snuggle but isn't to tight so that it's going to cut off circulation or be uncomfortable. You usually want to buy them a little bit tighter than you think that you do because they tend to pack out a little bit. Here you see if I put my helmet on I can sort of shake my head and it won't move but it also still very comfortable, so I don't ever have to worry about getting a headache anything like that it's very comfortable. The second issue here is your strap this is basically what holds the helmet on when you go down you want to make sure that it again it's not to loose, because if it's to loose it's just not going to hold your helmet on. And if it's to tight it'll it will be very uncomfortable and if your helmet is uncomfortable your not going to want to wear it and that's not a good thing.
