I agree with everything you said except this. Jacket snug, yes- but not so tight you can't breathe. But mainly, helmets- snug, yes- but not uncomfortable. If it's uncomfortable, you won't want to wear it. It shouldn't be able to move without your head moving. Wear it around the store! Any pressure you feel should be even all the way around your head. Shouldn't be any painful spots, or places where it's really loose.
