No way should you have to break it in.

I always buy from a local shop where I can try them on.
I know I could get a better deal on line, but feel like I should support the guy that carried the inventory for me to try on.

Yeah, I don't know if I really subscribe to the idea of break-in. It seems like an excuse for "you'll learn to live with a mediocre fit".

My Arai fits me perfectly. The biggest complaint is just that it fogs up constantly which is frustrating at the track. The Simpson doesn't seem to have that problem.
