K that sounds good. Try to sell mine if any one wants it and get new. Also, what size range you guys go far, I fit snug into M but can’t fit anything more than a thin buff under, you guys get enough room for a small toque as well?

Sand it and paint it so it doesn’t chip immediately and look like white trash. Or just grab a new one. That always works

Usual options aside, in case looking for new stuff Giro Owen and Smith Method (MIPS or without) both new this year and dropped in a good few not mustard yellow colors.

I would recommend getting a new one, especially if your helmet is a couple years old or you took some spills. Helmets are one thing that I like trying on in person- everyones head is different, every brands sizing in different. For example, i wear an XL smith Level, but for a Giro Jackson my head is right in the middle of the L sizing.

Since your head size is right on the cusp, id look for a brand where your head size is in the middle so you can adjust size if you put on a balaclava or toque.

Old one is pretty much brand new. Idk if it’s even worth it to me. I’m not too knowledgeable bout it but I think I want MIPS and idk if it’s worth to spend upwards of 100$ to get a new colour. Think it’s still steezy, black buff/ goggles, blue top, black pants.

Definitely get a helmet with mips. There's no good reason to buy one without it these days.
Everything else is just preference and luxury features, you can decide what's worth the money to you.

Get one of those cool helmet covers. You can get ones with horns to look extra scary.

Get a new helmet if you don’t like the color. Also go to a shop and try them on. All helmets fit differently, albeit the adjustable systems make them more accepting of different dome shaped. Bring your goggles too.
