no you dont. what youre describing has been quite the rage this past year.


seriously though, id change the size. or it might just be the wrong helmet for your head. try on different types of helmets before you buy one because they all fit differently

Maybe if you wear a bandana or something, it will make the gap less noticable or help the two stay together.

YOUR A GAPPER, but some times the helmet comes with a pad that you can put in the front to reduce the size of the gap

it could be... idk like i used to get the same thing with my helmet a little so i took out the front pads and wore a bandana so you could try that. also if you can fine what causes it like if the helmet isnt pulling down over your head enough or if the pads are too loose at the point where they end. just try a few things
