I've found that a medium Super Tacks X fits similar to a small V08. I usually wear medium helmets and wear a medium Super Tacks X opened up almost all the way. I tried the large and while it fit, it was too sloppy. Medium Super Tacks X helmets fit perfectly after a bit of a break in period.
"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

I do find that I need to lock the sizing in on the snug side since the 3D printed lattice structure flexes and tightening it like I would a traditional helmet results in it being too loose when playing. But the material flexes so much it fits like a glove

Sounds like I’m around the same size as you. I’ve previously worn both the V08 and 910 in a small but i now have the Tacks in both small and medium. The small is pretty much all the way open and the medium all the way closed. I do think a lot of the pressure you’re feeling is relieved once wearing for a few minutes as the “nest” has some give, but I was also shocked at the sizing because like you, I was right in the middle with the 910 and V08.
Tried it on a few more times and wore it for a few mins here and there and do see/feel there's some give. I think the nest is just so different than anything else, not used to the feeling of it yet. I removed the ear guards and that gave it a touch more wiggle room, will give it a try on the ice tonight and bring a backup just in case.
