    Helmet fit

    I just bought a Specialized S3 helmet. For years I've worn Giro Pneumos, but they don't make them anymore and the Atmos doesn't fit right. More importantly, I want a visor on the helmet to help keep the sun off my face, and Giro doesn't provide them anymore on their more vented helmets.

    Anyway, I'm kinda not sure if the Specialized fits me right. It seems awfully high on my head. What do you alls think?

    It's a size small -- the medium was too big.

    The Pneumo is rounder, so maybe that's why the S3 looks wrong to me. But the Pneumo also comes about 1/4 inch closer to the top of my ear at the side.

    Thanks!!
