Trying on new helmets in the shop, the straps are so stiff that I can't tell whether they're going to loosen up and fit properly or not!

It's going to be another couple of years before I shell out for a new hat but does anyone have any input on strap fitting?
Keep on trying is all I can say - Specialized tried to make a softer strap a year back, but wound up having to recall them since the production models couldn't pass the random checks Snell insists on.
