Mach V Commander Helmet

So far after using helmet for 2 months, it has been great and a great fit. The ventilation is amazing and actually makes a a different in keeping cool inside the helmet. Comes equipped with anti-fog lens and havent had fog issues. Cardo tech works well for calls and navigation. For music usage isnt the best audio yet isnt intended for music. Going at high speed muffles the audio anyways. Overall, outstanding helmet so far.

So far so good. The directions/owners manual opens up into a giant diagram poster so expect that. Also, the owners manual really only focuses on the cardo manual so i had to figure out how to add and relief air pressure to the speaker padding. Once I figured that out, the helmet fits well. I also paired it with their photochromatic visor aaaaand that doesnt seem to be working well so far but its day 1

Giving two stars because of the sizing. I shouldnt need a 3xl in order for my ears to not feel like they're being torn off. You might say I just need smaller cheek pads but I tried putting the 2xl helmet on with no cheek pads and I still felt actual pain just trying to put it on or take it off. Is it not possible to just make the helmet wider without making it longer?
