A resizing helmet isn't any more unusual than one that lets you control a stone statue.
We have also had them NOT fit properly before this. Its been pretty openly hit or miss on what items will resize to fit people. If this was the first time a magic item didnt fit somebody you would have a legit reason to complain about how contrived it is. It still IS contrived, (really everything is of course) but its at least working with established rules of the setting.
