Full face helmet
I just received a new Vega full face helmet. I have never owned one before. It fits real good once I get it on, but man is it a chore to get on! It about tears my ears off! It also squeezes my face so hard that if I open my mouth my cheeks go between my teeth! Is this the way these things work? It fits the top of my head really good though, like it is part of my head. I know this probably sounds like a joke, but it isn't. Should I get a bigger size?
Thanks guys and or ladies!

Take it to a shop that sells that brand and ask them.
Some helmets you can change out pads for a different fit on different areas of your head.
I also grab both straps and pull them apart when putting my helmet on and off.
I like a snug fit and they all do pack out and form to your head somewhat.
Good luck and have fun, Mark H.

It should fit snug enough that your skin moves when you lift the helmet up and down, but you should not feel pressure anywhere. The sides should be snug enough that it is a chore to slide on a pair of glasses, but there should be plenty of room for your ears. The helmet should be comfortable. If it's not, it's either too small or simply a model you should not wear.

Yup, and as you pull it on, pull slightly outward on the straps which will help the cheek pads clear your ears. It should be snug at first.

I just bought one of these. For a Shoei, it's a great price. Matter of fact, it's the best price I could find- by a long shot. I got mine for $172, and then they went up to $191. It's much better in the cold than my half helmet. No more wind getting past my goggles.
