Narrow helmets? Is my heard weird?

[MThockeydad 469]

I have a large but narrow head (24 3/8") and the 4500XL on its shortest setting fits me like a glove. 5100XL also fit well.

I'd like to try an IMS 7.0 or 11.0. I believe the floating inner would give a bit more fit tolerance than the helmets with more rigid shells/foams.

So I finally ordered an IMS 9.0 in Medium. Still too wide!

It wobbles side to side just a little bit. Is that OK? Ugh..I'm tired of buying and returning helmets.

So did you see my comment on looking at the Re-Akt in Small?

That may be my next option. It's just funny that all of these more expensive helmets don't fit as good we my cheapo Bauer 2100.

The IMS 9.0 feels weird in the front. Instead of going straight down against the forehead, its like only half an inch is touching my forehead and there is a gap above. So it feels like just a ring around the front of my head.

If I put my hands on the side of my head and squeeze in, the helmet fits! But I can't go around the rink holding my head.. lol
