so I've used my Poc receptor bug for a few months and it's pretty good so far, the only problem is that it's pretty tight on my head so I ended up taking out the padding and then putting it back in because it was super shakey on my head and in the spring I was forced to wear my beanie to prevent it from being super shakey and it was really hot. I like it but I was looking at the giro combyn and I really think it's cool how it has a soft shell, can take multiple impacts, and has a wide range of fit in one size because it can mold to your head. Since I ski park 95% of the time i think it would be good to have a helmet that i know will give me protection hit after hit. But I'm not really sure if all giro says about the combyn is actually true because you know how marketing is, so if anyone has input on the combyn or both of these helmets and know how they compare to one another it would be appreciated.

To stop this sort of thing from happening I recommend you go and try on the helmets in the shop. I equate helmets to boots personally, if you don't have a proper fitting helmet, no matter how cool you think it is, it won't do it's job properly and as you stated you'll have a bad time.
