When choosing a full-face riding helmet, how should it fit?

Correct answer

Firmly and evenly, without looseness or painful pressure.

It should fit firmly and evenly around the head without looseness or painful pressure points. Cheek pads should make suitable contact; the front padding does not fit the cheekbones. Check size, retention with the strap fastened and manufacturer instructions. Do not choose an oversized helmet merely for comfort.
