I know there have been some thread in general about CO helmets, but unfortunately I have excavated through the whole internet, but nevertheless have not found a satisfactory answer.
I am planning to order Charles Owen AYR8 helmet, as it is suggested to be good fit for oval heads, but since our local store does not sell anything out of CO range, I am left with the internet option only. This leads, naturally, to the issue of sizing. I am comfortable in GPA Speed Air size 60cm; I have another GPA helmet "Training", which is also size 60, but does not fit well due to the form. The only CO helmet I managed to try here, was a Showjumper model, in size 59, and I could get it on, but it was very, very tight. So I am wondering whether I should get CO AYR8 in 60 or rather go for 61 cm? I'd like to be sure and have a comfortable helmet which will not cause headache due to being too small, so how does AYR8 run sizewise? I'd be grateful for any tips.
