Got a new helmet, the giro mountain bike helmet in their universal adult size, to replace my trek wavecell that reminds me of the new Republic helmets.
Right off the bat I noticed the BOA system of the trek hugs my head more vs giro and will some pressure it pushes up quite a lot vs the wavecell, is this normal? Especially for a mips helmet?

Universal adult size? Wtf that is wild. Generally cheap helmets come in fewer sizes (often xs/s and m/l) while nicer helmets come in individually xs or s or m or l….
Also! Just measuring your head doesnt guarantee a helmet will fit well. Some brands use a more oval or more round fit. Try to go to a local bike shop and find a helmet that fits well.

It looks like it’s deforming your head into the 4th dimension. May not be good for long term use.
