from my last fitting - to test cheek pads - with helmet/pads installed - open and close your mouth - should Not bite your inside cheeks....

whiskers ,

yes ,at first they are sort of tight but with time the accomodate.

if, they fit fine at first ,chances are that over time it will be loose.

BUT,having said that .i finally had to give up on a bmw flip up helmet due to pressure points ,and i could not shave it enough.

so, i now try it on and if it fits comfortably i get it.if not ,i do not.
i do not mind a little loose over the long term .better than pain and headhaches over 6 weeks or so.
and as it becomes a little loose i add inserts around the loose areas and that is that.

hope this helps .

A ballpein hammer is one with a flat hammerhead on one side and a ball on the other side.
LOL, I just love this forum! no matter what your experience or background, someone is sure to step up and help ya out. can I assume the big difference between a ball pein and ball bean, is the beaning hammer is for cracking oneself on the side of the ole beaner whenever a brain fart occurs?

Just FYI, a ballPEIN hammer is used primarily to flatten a protrusion, kind of like a rivet head. Keeps the thing from protruding. I have no idea what a ballBEAN hammer is, with no disrespect to my Forum buddy above.
Whatever, it worked for me on the EPS. A guy could use a river rock or something smooth. Whatever is at hand.....I just happened to have the hammer! Use a little silicone to keep the covering in place over the EPS.

Yeah, the Forum is full of ideas.....mostly good! It's a fun and helpful place. I enjoy it.
