Cheers. Trying it on again, I think it is just a combination of the size/opened of the helmet and the mips that makes it feel bigger than what it is. It feels pretty good around the top of my head and done up tight it doesn't move too much.Ive had medium helmets from numerous brands ‘forever’.
Never thought id wear a ‘large’ helmet.
Tried on the Proframe the other week, the medium basically hurt. Left imprints of the pads on my head, the worst was the pad above the eyes... Large felt good. Could probably get it better with a combo of the different sized pads that come with it?
From this limited experience ive had with the Proframe id say they are sized smaller the ‘average’ and id found a few other comments from others supporting my findings when researching the helmet online afterwards.

Agree 100%. I'm normally a Large in all helmets.Ive had medium helmets from numerous brands ‘forever’.

I have only had one ride with mine so far, but like you I also pretty much forgot I had a full face on.Now that I've had a couple of good rides in the helmet now, I can say I love it. I got a large, and left the thicker cheekpads in, they felt a bit tight but i put the thinner neck pad and now the helmet is very comfortable.
I rode last Saturday for a good 2-3 hours, and it was very humid. I was dripping with sweat after, but I honestly forgot I had a full face on. It really does breath well and is light.
Just do what I did, get a tape measure and measure your head. Then buy the helmet that is the correct size. I ended up being a large, whereas my open lid is a medium (Specialized Ambush Comp). '
I also work normal glasses with them (100% centrics) and no issues at all and look good too.
Get a #1 crew-cut?Ive been close to pulling the trigger on the Proframe for weeks now. Have tried them on heaps and still cannot decide on the correct size.
Im 56cm measured around the head, thats the start of the medium on their chart (M=56-58cm) but again across the front its borderline painful.
The Large feels good on, but i think it would end up being loose once worn in. I could only hope with some swapping out of the pads thinner ones the M would end up perfect once worn in...??
The TLD Stage has caught my eye a bit recently but id be buying it without having tried one on... that and the fact its $450ish? Vs $250ish for the Proframe im struggling to understand and justify the price difference! Anyone here have the Stage and care to tell me how awesome it is and thoughts vs the Proframe?

Hmmm what if we flip that around and thats the problem, not enough boof head hair to add some cushion... already use #1.Get a #1 crew-cut?
(seriously, chicks dig it, it's super quick to dry outta the shower, no silly hair products to apply...and your favourite fox enduro helmet will fit nice)
....failing that, have a fiddle around with the different supplied pads some more. I found that the different thicknesses really changed the fit.
Get the medium, I measured the start of a large and out of the box it felt really tight. I left the cheek pads on as the thickest one, but put the smaller neck pad and this sorted it all out.

Why did I think it had a removable chinbar :/TLD Stage is a fixed chinbar like the Proframe.
