Bauer 4500

I got a Bauer 4500 helmet size medium.. It fits around my head fine, but I think its a little to shallow(to much of the back of my head showing, and the ear guards don't cover the entire ear ) will a large fix this problem?

The ear guards don't always fully protect your ear, and the back of the head does show. I'd need to see a picture to find out if it's suposed to be like that or if it doesen't fit.

Check out the picture in the link. All the players there wear the 4500. Just imagine there's ear protectors.

Here's a picture of Malkin, and the bottom one of Crosby...2 players that play with ear guards.

I see all the kids putting their ear guards on now.... No, seriously, i also think its fine.

I believe the ear guard is meant to cover the ear canal more than the entire ear. I find that a lot of newer helmets are somewhat shallow, I'm not a fan of that.
