Tried three different shops and none of them have or plan to stock the new switchblade.
I am very intrigued and as a size dependant item keen to try it on but I can't even find an online place that sells them.

Anyone come across one?

Tried one on last Friday when a rep came to show us 2017 stuff. Not one we'll be stocking though. Looks like they'll be available from mid Oct.

Reviews say it is based on the Montaro, which I have just got. Sizing a little smaller on the Montaro that non MIPS Giro lids, but I ended up staying in a medium as the large was like a mushroom !

On my noggin it will be a large if it fits on.

It's for the mini me that is after a full face helmet for Christmas that the sizing would worry me. For a 5 3/4 year old he is already into possible adult sizing territory and I like the idea of something with an easily removable chin guard and mips which you don't seem to get in youth sizes. He tried a small full face on at the weekend and the fit on the head was fine but the straps wouldn't sit right under the chin.
