I second this; go try them on as they will likely feel different. I've been looking for another helmet. Always been a Giro user and was ready to get an Ionos (feels a bit better than my Atmos). But, recently tried on some Specialized helmets and I liked the fit a lot. I was looking at the S-Works or the Propero, but, the Echelon felt best -- and it was about 1/4 the price of the S-Works and about 1/2 the price of the Propero!! I have not pulled the trigger yet as I'm thinking about appearance a bit. But, the point is that trying them on is key for making a good decision.
