Correct answer

  • BEscoger la talla más ajustada.Choose the tighter-fitting size.
Explanation

The helmet must fit the head snugly, with no slack: if it moves, in an impact it can shift or come off and stop protecting you. If in doubt between two sizes, choose the tighter one, as long as it is not uncomfortable and does not press too hard.
