I just bought one and the youth size was the only one that fit-should I have kept looking for a smaller adult size?

I measured my head and it is exactly in the range indicated in the manual-55-57 cm.

The correct size is not what it says is more of a fit. Proper fit (not labels) is what you are looking for. Not all size small (medium, large, youth, etc.) are the same size one brand maybe larger than the other. For more information check out the snell foundation web site.

If it does fit, there is nothing wrong with using a youth helmet. It must fit well though, not squishing your head. Otherwise, I would recommend getting a small adult helmet.

If it fits, wear it ! The main issue is to ALWAYS wear a helmet ! And if it fits right, it does'nt really matter what they call it.

As long as it fits properly and is approved by current standards you should be all set.

As long as it fits you confortably but firmly, it's doesn't matter.
