MET helmet
Hi, I want a new helmet to replace my old Giro pneumo, I like the look of the MET stradavarius 2 helmet, but the sizing is leaving me a bit confused. I am a medium in a Giro 55-59, and its set about halfway on the fitting so I guess I am about a 57 cms head size. the MET sizing only has two fittings 51-57 medium or 58-61 large, what sizes to most people have of this helmet ? particularly people coming from a Giro ? the so called Medium sounds awful small to me, as I would certainly not describe my head as large ! quite the opposite really. So are there any sizing oddities with this helmet.
I know I should be trying on, but they are not easy to find in my area and I would have to travel a considerable distance to find a retailer. That and the fact that all the best deals are online !
Would love to hear some opinions

I did
I did 57.5 cms. How about for an awkward size when trying to decide between a helmet size range which ends at a 57cms and starts the next size up at a 58cms ! Most things are never that accurate sizing wise and come up either smaller or larger for thier given size range. Was wondering how this example faired.

IIRC there was a thread about this helmet not long ago. Being that it's not sold in the US, you'd probably have to go REALLY far. Unless, of course, you don't live in the US.
