I was told not to expect the crown (top of head) padding to break in much. If it is a little snug, then it’ll break in. If it is tight, it won’t break in enough. If it is JUST right, it’ll break in and be slightly loose.
Checkpads are different, they can be tight, they’ll break in a fair amount. I know my cheekpads where rather tight, but after two months of riding they were no longer an issue.
Headshape has a big role in helmet fitting. Go to a store with a wide variety of makes. Different models from the same company will usually use the same head shape, going to different companies is the best way to find a better fit.
