I am really happy with this helmet. I am much happier than I thought I'd be.The helmet is hard since it is made of PVC, for a my head really good. It is hard to get past the ears but once it's on it feels good. Came with a felt cap that helps with sliding the helmet on and off. Plan to color the edges maroon and have the main color black.Its a little tight to get on at first but once its on there is a good amount of space in the back of it. About 2.5 inches. But I think a little custom removable foam chunks and I will take care of the fit. All in all a very nice made mask.This helmet is amazing!!! It came out of the box slightly deformed but that was an easy fix with my heat gun. So as many have said it does seem like it's too small but it really isn't, it is however a very tight squeeze to get on and take off but it is definitely not too small. I've found it's much easier to put on after I hit it with a little heat. I can't recommend this helmet enough, very well made and fits great once it's on.Looks great, fits a little big. If you put in padding it becomes a little tight. Overall good purchase.The real deal. I'm always skeptical of any replica or duplicate costume item, but this is excellent. The material is solid, even a little tight but in a good way. You'll be pleasantly surprised by this mask.not bedI have a,22 head it was wayyyy too big no way to modify it. Sent it back
