After seeing this helmet in a spirit store, I knew my halo obsessed self had to have it. I tried it on in store and it was a bit large for my head. If it's meant for a teenage boys head as the main customer, they went way too large. I am a female with a normal size head I assume, and there's sooo much space in the helmet. I know even for men with normal head sizes it's still large from my friends who have tried it on too. I think the hardest part is that there's no airholes so the air only flows from the bottom in (which might be a reason for why it's so large) but it makes the helmet pretty warm when you're in it for longer than five minutes. It was packaged extremely well, came in a huge box but safely packaged. Looks exactly as pictured.
