Is my New Helmet the right size?!
So i got a new scorpion exo 400 matte black with a tinted visor and a hin skirt for a total of 125$. I got a small being that my old helmet which was an "off brand" helmet IV2 medium (57-58cm) and it was way too loose. I got this one in a small (55-56cm) and it feels like hell to take it off and needs alot of force but its fine putting it on. Is it too small?

Do you feel any discomfort when wearing the helmet, ie pressure points on your head, if not the helmets neck roll will probably loosen up overtime and it wont be as bad taking it on and off.

My Scorpion it tight taking it off too. It was tight on my head for a while as well but that has subsided. Does the 400 have the stupid blow up balloons in the cheek area like the 750?

yup. good fitting helmets are always easy to put on but hard to take off. Give it a little bit and the liner will set in alittle.
Also sounds stupid but make sure youre pulling the 2 straps to the left/right when taking it off/putting it on. I see sooooo many people just shoving their helmet on their head by putting pressure on the top. makes no sense |

Your helmet is fine. Your head is the wrong size.
