Easton S9 Helmet

[hrbekroenick 0]

I just picked up an Easton S9 helmet last night at my LHS. I am looking at it today, and I get nosy. The box says large, the foam inside says large but the QC sticker inside with date/lot/size says M. Did I get a medium dressed as a large?

A little tight.

Loosen it up with a screwdriver?

I'm not sure how hockey helmets work, but with motorcycle helmets there is generally only 2, 3 tops of shell sizes. S/M-L/XL. The only thing that makes it a different size is the volume for the foams and paddings inside the helmet.

A little tight.

If you are skeptical, you should go back to the LHS where you bought it and talk to one of the employees to make sure you got the right size and have them fit it to your head so that it is comfortable there. The last thing you want is an improperly fit helmet, so making sure it fits properly and your money was well spent is important. Any decent employee should be able to fit you properly and adjust it in store, especially because you have made the purchase

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I talked to the LHS worker (a buddy of mine) and he echoed IniNew's thoughts. I bought a cage for it yesterday and wore it last night. Felt pretty good, although the idea of using less padding to make a M a L doesn't sit right with me!
