I wear normal glasses thank you for your advice I will try that.As several people have said different brands and designs work for different people. I'm the same.
I'd like to throw in another thought. Do you wear glasses of any sort? My helmet fits well and is perfectly comfortable. I also wear a cycle cap.
Sometimes I wear my cycling glasses, others I don't. If I don't position these properly they can be too tight on my head and it hurts in the area you describe. As soon as I take the glasses off the discomfort goes.
For me the best position is to wear glasses over, rather than under the helmet straps. This forces the arms wider apart and relieves the pressure on the head.
If the arms are under the strap they tend to get caught by the edge of my cap and inside of the helmet and pushed in to the sides of my head.
You wear shoes and boots on your head?Like shoes and boots some just don't get on with your head. Once you find one that works I tend to stick with them.

Mrs TomB has just got a new Kask and it feels horrible on my sweede.
All that said I do find the wear in to some extent as the plastic frame relaxes around your head shape and the straps bed in and sodten.
Make sure they have sprung arms or you could break themI wear normal glasses thank you for your advice I will try that.

I used wear a helmet which weighs a lot more than that, often above 130mph & the weight has never been an issueWhat weight is the helmet? Some helmets, even £100+ ones, can weigh up near 500g which to me is a serious amount of weight to be sitting on your head for hours on end. I did a heap of internet shopping for a helmet last week as I wanted an urban style lid for tandem & fat bike riding as opposed to wearing my more road styled 220g MET helmet that I had. It turned out, it is difficult to get a <300g urban helmet for decent dough but I'm happy with the fit or the Alpina that I went for in the end.
Would a rasp speed up the job, or will a normal file suffice, just asking for a friendYou need to file down the areas of your head where the helmet feels tight.
@Anonymous1502 - do heed the above quote. I was mainly think of cycling glasses.Make sure they have sprung arms or you could break them
my Oakleys don’t have sprung arms but guess they’re quite flexy@Anonymous1502 - do heed the above quote. I was mainly think of cycling glasses.
Yes I find cycling glasses are quite flexible and stronger than prescription glasses. I think it's the extra strength which is the problem. A quite rigid material being pushed against the side of the head for several hours is going to hurt!!!!!Uu
