I'm looking for thoughts on this. How much room should you have around
your helmet when wearing it? Should there be any give at all or not?
You get the idea.

No room. Not overly tight either... When brand new, slightly uncomfortably
snug... It will break in like a new pillow in almost every single model out
there and be comfortably right after a while.
Too tight is better than too loose as too loose means your head will move
around inside during a crash and not be nearly as protected.

I am totally in agreement with those who said it
should be tight enough to be slightly uncomfortable when it
is new. Those who mentioned head shape also have a very
good point. All helmet manufacturers do not use the same
head form. Try several on until you have a good firm fit
for YOUR HEAD. -- steve

Thank you to everyone.
I think my question was answered with it. I just got a new helmet (a
modular Nolan N-102) and I was trying to debate the size. It felt a bit
big but I wanted to make sure I get another option before I send it back
for the next size smaller.
