Core Zip Modular Helmet (Flat Black, X-Small) Review

According to the measuring instructions to find what size you need I needed a large. It says if the circumference of your head is between 23 1/4" to 24" inches you need a large. and 24 1/4" to 25" inches you need a XL. OK, my head measures 23 3/4" inches so this helmet should fit me. It doesn't. First, it sits up too high like it has about an inch too much padding in the top but it has hardly anything for padding in the top. The worst fit is the width at the front of me ears. It's so tight, its very painfully tight on the joint of my jaws. It puts so much pressure in the area in front of my ears and down to my lower jaw its too painful to leave it on for any length of time. It was bad enough that it gave me a bad headache and there is no way that I would be able to leave it on for more than half a minute, and I doubt I could stand it for that long. It felt like I had my head in one of those mid-evil torture devices like a big bench vice that they keep screwing down tighter and tighter till it crushes your head like a melon or giant walnut.
As for its functions. The full face flip up is really nice and the built in vents for air intake in the front and out flow in the back should help keep your head cooler when riding in the summer time. I've always wanted a helmet like this one and it really bums me out that its so far undersize. I've thought about getting something like a soccer ball that I can let the air out of, stick it in the helmet and use my air compressor to pump it up and force it out a little wider where its so tight on my jaws and ears. Maybe if I leave it like that long enough it will reshape it enough that I can use it.
What it comes down to is ordering a helmet online and expecting it to fit you properly is like trying to order a pair of shoes online. Both of those items are something that you really need to be able to try on for fit and comfort before you buy them. And that's something that just cant be done when ordering those items online. There are many things that can be ordered online without having that personal touch to check for size, feel, and fit. But then there are many things that you just cant get the right fit ordering it from a picture online. This is one of them.
Overall I can recommend this helmet, if you buy it from a store where you can try on several of them and find the one that fits you comfortably. However, I cant recommend ordering one this way online. Chances are you will not get one that fits you properly &/or comfortably.
