my father got me a helmet for my birthday, its size Large, and i am Medium. A friend told i just need to wear a hat under the helmet and that would make it fit well, and it does here at home but haven't try it on the track. Any advice on what i can do?? If i use it once i can't sell it at the same price as new so i need to make a decision based on this forum haha

Get a new helmet
A helmet too big is about as good as no helmet at all

Get a properly sized helmet

Yep, what Dave said.

And if your freind suggested wearing a hat under your helmet, I suggest you find smarter freinds....

Take it back and exchange it for one that fits snug.

Whilst quite common, this is not always the case. Depends on manufacturer.

Not too sure on the Thor Force. But why pay extra money for cheek pads? If it's brand new just exchange it for the right size and save the $$$.

Exchange it. It was a gift. They exchange gifts for wrong sizes. Or give it back to your dad so he can wear it, and have him buy you an even cooler one!
