-- Unless more than one person uses the helmet (not a nice thought during
the summer <ick>, why would you need to adjust the straps once you have the
fitting set up?

-- Sounds like it's either the wrong size or that the Troxel is the wrong
shape for her head.

> Daughter can't wait till she lands on her Troxel so she can get a
Lexington. >g<
-- I wore a Lexington Lidlocker before I got my Troxel Sport.  The Troxel
fits my head much better -- it just never moves at all, and I forget that I
have it on..

I guess what we all need is a local tack store that carries umpteen brands
so we can check out all the different helmet shapes.
