It's been a while since I bought a new helmet, and I've always been a Smith fan (and I wear Smith I/OS goggles). I tried on the women's Vantage MIPS at a shop, with the goggles, and it felt pretty good. But I wasn't sure I wanted the brim that the Vantage has (it's a pain when you want to take your goggles off), so my husband got me a Compass MIPS for Chanukah (we shopped the Black Friday sales).
But I've been sitting on the couch wearing it for the last 30 mins, and it seems to feel a little snug. And I'm definitely a small (54 cm head). I can't remember - will this pack out a little? Or should I maybe suck up the brim and try out the Vantage, which seemed to feel ok when I tried it on (though I didn't keep it on for 30 mins, since I was at a shop).
So my questions - will the helmet pack out a bit? How snug is too snug? Is it common for two helmets from the same company, but different models fit differently?
thanks!
