How do they size up? I am usually a large in hats but their size :L starts at 59 cm. I seem to be on the boarder. 58.5 one measure 59 cm another two measures, so I might be just a at the limit of the small / med but I don't want it tight when or loose going the other way.
TBH they're so cheap I'd buy one of each. Son has a small/medium. I'm normally a large giro and it doesn't fit me.
Sizing is just one thing, shell shape is more important. L fits my shapeless head very nicely, hugging around and going down nicely rear and sides.
Where are you based? If somewhere around Sheffield or so you can try my Large one...
Cheers!

Thanks for the offer Ivan very kind of you but I am on the south coast.
What do you mean by shapeless head? Mine is more of a long thin head.
Jeffl. I am afraid I have been working myaelf up for this order for 6 months so adding anothe £15 just as throw away amount is not an option.
EAhhh... That indeed might not work.
Shapeless means flat at the top, strangely bulging mid/top side and over forehead.
For the perspective.
There is no Giro shell that fits me well. Met only L/XL. Urge total waste of time. 661 the same.
I get on very nicely with Fox Flux L/XL, fine with L Bell half-shells, also successfully tried Spesh Vice. Have two PX/On-One MTB helmets - On One Enduro V1 and Carnac Enduro as well as Carnac Aura for roadie/commuting/bimbling duties. All in L size, very happy user.
Especially for the money 😀
Oh, and circumference of my melon is 59cm without 2-3mm...
Cheers!

Thanks Ivan. I think I will plump for a L as u have a L bell as my "roadie" / touring helmet.
I bought one to replace an old 2012 fox flux 3 years ago. Fit is ok but it’s a bit chunky.
Don’t really wear it as it runs hot and ‘mine’ whistles when I hit 15mph+...... Very distracting.
Just bought an endura mt500 with £50 off from sigmasports.com.

My Giro Chronicle fits me the best of any helmet I’ve had. I bought the Carnac £10 road helmet (also own brand Planet X) in the size that my Chronicle was supposed to be in cms. The helmet barely fit in my head - so I sent it back and got a refund which worked very smoothly.
I bought the size up and it’s great. So if you’re on the border of sizes I think I’d go with the bigger one (assuming the road and enduro helmet are a similar fit).
I have a 60cm head. I have the large helmet but dont find it a great fit if i am honest. My head is long/thin more oval and find it a bit tight on my forehead. I still wear my older version of the same helmet instead as it seems to fit me better.
Real useful info from the last two post thanks. I am along thing also
I've got two of the Enduro helmets, a medium and a large. They both "fit" but I think the large looks too big. Like the OP I'm on the boundary between the two sizes. The medium is older, so they could have changed the sizing. Oh and the green one has faded massively in the 6 months I've had it, while the Matt Orange still looks good after more than a year.
