My current lid dates from 2002, so it needs replacing.
Plus I hate it and never wear it, so a new one might make me slightly safer.
If I wear it of course.
Anyway- the question is this: Size.
I've tried on both a small and a medium Specialized S-Works 2D.
The small one seemingly fits really well- with the adjustment straps/band loose it seems to fit perfectly on my head.
I can nod, shake my head etc and it just sits in place.
The Medium moves around with the straps/band loose, but then sits well when they are tightened up.
Now my quandary is this- I have tried both of these on in the shop, on my lunch break.
So I was not exactly exerting myself.
Should I get the medium, with a bit of room for head expansion when hot/longer hair (currently sporting a "This is England" haircut), or the small one and keep shaving my head?
