    Although I could certainly be wrong, it sounds to me like the helmet is more of a rounded shape where you feel the 'need' to tighten it because it feels loose. Perhaps your head is more oblong shape??

    No, I actually feel the need to loosen it, because I keep it very tight, so it would actually work as intended in a crash. I just see too many riders who wear their helmets too loose, and with the straps dangling way below the chin. I spend a lot of time when I lead rides, helping people situate their helmets correctly. Some get very ornery, but I won't let a person come on a ride I am responsible for,with a helmet that is loose and crooked!

    Yeah, well, I take my leader responsibilities very seriously.
    Especially when a rider comes with a helmet on, that is pushed back all the way toward their neck! Like that's going to work.

    Actually, I think it's more "teacher" than "mom."
