Yes, I usually have found a helmet that I consider to fit well to feel tighter when it was new vs after having some time on it. How much of why it feels better after time is due to it breaking in and getting looser and how much is due to me getting used to the new feeling is another question. I don't wear loose fitting helmets. I size them so that my head fits tightly in them as it should, so maybe more of the latter.My questions is..... When you get a new helmet, do you expect it to be a bit tight and will get better with a break in? And mbe in time... expected hours to a good break-in period?
