Quick question:

Do different size helmets actually come in different circumference values? I know it sounds like a stupid question and it may be an obvious answer, but I haven't found any definitive answer (maybe because it is just that obvious).

The closest I got was that FAST helmet sizing chart, and I am of the impression that they just place different sized pads to accommodate for the different circumferences of heads?

And if it's just a matter of changing the pads in for different sizing, would that not inevitably mean that a helmet will look big on a smaller guy regardless of what "size" he gets, since the outside circumference of the helmet would remain the same?
