Giro Atmos sizing
I'm looking to pick up one of these helmets once they come on sale. However, I have a question regarding sizing. My head is measured as 54cm, which comes up on the very end of the Small size, according to Giro.
I picked up a Giro Prolight a few days ago, and while it was a nice helmet, the styling was a bit old for my taste. My problem is that since I sometimes ride with a cycling cap, should I go up to the Medium, or just stick with a Small? I can fit the cycling cap with the Prolight, but it is really snug and it also raises the helmet up a bit. So what do you think? I'm wondering if I should compare fit of the Prolight to the Atmos. I've checked a few LBS around my area, and not many seem to have the Atmos either.

Specialized S-Works Prevail is the most comfortable helmet I've ever tried on. I'm ditching my Giro asap.

A medium 54cm is going to fit like a noodle colander(iirc giro is 54-59cm), i would look for a different brand that breaks the sizing on 56 or 55.
