bought a KBC VR-1X in large fitted well.after a month it was feeling loose,anyway wrecked the helmet in a little crash.I liked the style and fit/shape so bought another in medium and queezed that fker on.Now after about 4months it to appears too loose.

Are KBC just bad quality or is me head shrinking?Any one had this with KBC?

This site is shrinking your brain mass.

Imagine how small it will be by the time you have 5000 posts.

Sounds like your not fitting your helmets properly when buying. The foam compresses as you wear it so the helmet does get a little looser.

When you buy a helmet you should buy one that fits nice an snug (fairly tight but shouldn't be hurting) and feels comfortable (no major pressure points on any part of the head/face).

Different brands have different shapes so you really need to try on a lot of helmets to find a good one.

My head measures up as a medium but medium helmets were far too loose so ended up with an HJC small which is perfect.

If it felt like a good fit when you bought it, it was too big.

When I buy helmets I get them feeling quite tight, then bed them in.

I've had a KBC for 3 years - my head has shrunk very little in that time.
