Does the helmet feel tight after a while, or do you feel distinct spots in the helmet where it is particularly uncomfortable? If it’s the former, you may either have the right helmet but you got a headache, or you may have gotten a helmet that’s slightly small. I doubt that’s the case, however. Chances are that if you keep wearing it, it will break in and feel more comfortable over time.
If you feel distinct pressure on, say, your forehead, or at your temples, etc., then you may want to look for other brands and other helmet shapes.
Everybody else has said it already: drink lots of water, especially if you’re going to be out for extended periods in hot weather. Dehydration is a quick ticket to a headache and worse, so take care of yourself!
