I recall a good way to test helmet loose fitment is to put it on and secure the chinstrap as you normally would. If you can pull the helmet down in front and it covers your eyes? It's too loose. Too tight is obvious- it just doesn't fit.
Yup - it kinda presses my fat cheeks into my teeth.

Rest of the fit is good - I'm thinking that the next size up might not pass the loose test you describe above.

Guess I'll be running back to Pyrotect and check out the next size up.

Thanks,

Don
