My Bad, can't read properly this time of night, open face helmet vs my full face, sorry!

So, I'd say put some time into the helmet, if tight around the temples/jaw/cheeks, go with smaller pads if available. If tight through the middle of the head (above the ears), might want to check if model is a round or long oval model, will make a difference depending on your head shape.

Good luck and good riding.
