A loose helmet can come off in a crash, while one that's too tight can cause discomfort

This makes them shine in the summer when the water is warmer, and the fish are more willing to chase down a meal

If I was feeling ambitious then Id also make it a point to dig some fresh cherrystones for myself

Now that the helmet is broken in a bit the fit is slightly looser than I like if the chin bar would have been farther out, I would probably have been happier with the XL
