Hello!

The best fitting helmet I've ever had for my narrow 55 oval head was one of the original Ayr8s. I currently have an AyrBrush with a replaceable liner which doesn't fit quite as well (feels a touch small and like it sits a bit higher) and is now due to replaced.

Do the new Ayr8 pluses fit exactly the same as the old Ay8s? Or are will they be more like my Ayrbrush?

I'm based in Australia and would have to order one from a UK store as they seem to be hard to get hold of over here now. I've tried a Samshield in store here that fitted well but have always felt super safe in my Charles Owen's.
 
ive just had the Ay8 fitted on NYE for my oval shallow head and it fits like a glove - no idea what the older ones fitted like but i love this hat and such good value for money
