Message OK, here's the story: I purchased a SIMPSON LX open face helmet last month to use in track schools and the like. I loved it, but it was an M rated helmet. I have aspirations of doing time trials, so I needed an SA rated helmet. I opted to exchange the LX for the LX-Plus. It is the full faced, SA rated version.

Special praisDBD::ODBC::db prepare failed: (DBD: st_prepare/SQLAllocStmt err=-2) at incl_db.pm line 314.
e here for [ www.helmetcity.com ] for their great service and prices.

Well, it arrived today, and the chin guard part doesn't fit. My cheeks get all scrunched-up and I can only leave it on for about 7 or 8 minutes before it gets very uncomfortable. The head portion of the helmt fits just fine since it is the same size as the first helmet. I know SA helmets are supposed to be more snug, but this is ridiculous!

Has anyone else had this problem?... will the helmet "stretch" after a while? Or do I need to send this one back for a bigger size?

Any info would be appreciated.
