Anybody out there able to compare the Atmos' size (i.e. head size) w/ that of the Pneumo?

I'm not able to find one locally to try on, and the best Giro sizes for me seem to be either a size L Eclipse or a size M Pneumo (even though Giro says they both use the same sizing system)

They are the same in size. There is no difference whatsoever between the pneumo and the atmos.

Today I went a ways away to see a real live Atmos and compare how they fit on *my* head to a Pneumo. The Atmos is noticably smaller for a given size--whereas a medium Pneumo fit me fine (with a little extra room for under helemt head wear), a medium atmos was a tad too small.

Upshot was that I went home with a large Atmos :D (They are quite drool-inducing)
