Depends how you define I'll fitting IMHO. The only helmet that ever caused me grief was sold to me by a shop owner who insisted on trying them on then trying to rip them off my head. Maybe this is yet another pointless race track thing, that's what all the shops were into back then.
The one he said fitted hurt but as a new rider you don't think to tell them "******s, it won't change shape later, I'm off to another shop".

The result was a lid so tight that after an hour the only thing on my mind was the pain across my head. Distraction, misting and the letterbox outlook on the road made testing the crash protection more likely.

I think knowing what works is yet another thing you learn, and slowly too as no one let's you try a helmet for a week. It is totally correct that if it feels wrong it is wrong though.

Fit is everything. A £30 scooter lid has passed the same approval test as that £500 shoei in the EU or North America. The assumption that the £500 gets you more protection is unproven, independent tests have show very varied results. What you can tell is that if the scooter lid feels better the everyday (when you don't crash) functions have been met. Outside EN/BSI/DOT zones a brand might tell you more than just fashion tips.

Ear plug are the same. I use the mould your own kits or sponge type. The rubber plug ones hurt and a pair work had made professionally for me were useless. Again a case of just keep trying I think.

indeed... I ask customers to wear the helmet round the shop for at least 10-20 mins to see if it gives them a headache...
