The helmet includes some replacement pads that are the same size as the original, not used to adjust the fit of the helmet.
My Personal Use
I have worn the helmet on a few bike rides and skateboarding. I have a tall head and feel that if fits me a little to high for comfort. However, my friends that have worn the same helmet see it sit well, or lower on their head. The helmet just fits different head types differently and it’s hard to know how it will fit your head without trying it on. A side from assessing the fit on top of your head. There are plenty of adjustments to make it fit well from side to side and front to back using the adjustable ratchet style adjustment in the back of the helmet. For the price and protection offered I would recomend this to friends for them self or their kids. I think its a great value for the price.
