im pretty confused as to the proper way of wearing a helmet. should it be snug fit? or loose??
if it's the latter then it would be inefficient in the occurrence of a collision, right? i've been riding for years. luckily, no accidents yet. probably because i still haven't learned the proper way of wearing a helmet! haha

First, i suggest that you get a brand and size that fits well prior to adjustments, and then you can use the adjustable straps and sizing pads to ensure a SNUG fit.

this one should help: http://www.abc-of-mountainbiking.com/mountain-biking-gear/mountain-bike-helmet.asp
