Yup. I definitely should have. I don't know if I would have even noticed in this case. It took me a whole day of fights to figure it out but it's definitely a best practice. Usually I do test it out but this seemed so minor I didn't even think to check it. Lesson learned
I've been there with motorcycle helmets as well thankfully they at least come in sizes so you can figure it out a little bit easier than these goofy steel knight helmets
Yeah it never occurred to me it could make that much of a difference either but it really just changed how everything sat on my head and the way I needed to make adjustments to look out of the ice slots. Little things can make a difference
