A couple of suggestions that I think could help. First, tighten the laces up on top a bit more, so that the bar stands a little bit higher on the bridge of your nose. Second, I would try to bend the bar a little bit to help reduce the pressure on your forehead, it'll bring the bar closer to your nose, but should help improve the comfort. Hope everything goes well for you!

My fg5000 feels tight on the forehead part. You just have to loosen the laces and prepare for it to shift or just deal with it. Helps to take off your headgear time to time to let your head decompress. Can you take a behind picture to show us how the laces are in the back?

Thanks everybody, but somehow I just re-did the laces for like the 100th time and now it fits very well.

Winnings are very bulky, which is why I am very happy with my Cleto Reyes facebar.

I thought the same thing, it's way more bulky then I thought, I might just sell it, this headgear just showed me how good my fg 2900 is.

maybe you just gotta get punched more to size down the foam 
I was thinking it was more slimmer, considering the videos I watched off youtube.

if anything, I might just get a large later on, too see if that makes any difference. I'm sure it will, but it felt very weird on my head, tight, I just smacked the bar while it was on me and the chin strap sort of choked me. Also the strap was very very stiff. I might get a buckle strap on my next one

Just keep it around for a little bit and see if it works out.
