Pro 6582 Melbourne FL | Subject: S or M Specialized S-Works Evade? I'm looking at getting a new helmet for out training, looking at Specialized S-Works Evade because can get it in colors that match my bike! That said, I'm a measured 56cm, the small is 51-57cm, Med 54-60. Haven't looked at any LBS yet to try on, but IIRC non are Specialized shops so I may have to travel. Anyone know how these helmets fit? Would the small not fit/look right being I would be on the edge vs the med? |

I have a specialized helmet(don't know the model) and went with the measurement which put me in a small. It fits very well, so if you measure as a small go for the small. You can always return it right? |

409 Durham, North Carolina | Subject: RE: S or M Specialized S-Works Evade? I was bored so I just measured my head and got between 54-56 cm. I'm not sure if I measured properly or not. I have a medium evade and I think it fits great. I got it 1 year ago so I can't remember why I chose medium over small, but I did try them on at the shop. Maybe they didn't have small? Either way medium fits me great and its very adjustable. I'm sure either would work, but I would recommend med. I also have their tri version with magnetic straps and I love them. |

I also have more of a narrow/oblong type head not a round one and some helmets look really wide on me.Guess I should just find a shop to check them out, road trip... |

If both small and medium fit your head, the medium will probably look like a big mushroom cap sitting on top of you body |

Champion 7136 Knoxville area | Subject: RE: S or M Specialized S-Works Evade? My general rule of thumb if I'm right on the line between sizes On helmets that don't cover the ears, size down. On helmets that do cover the ears, size up. It's worked pretty well for me in the past. The only time I ever bought a helmet that didn't fit was when nashbar was closing out Giro Selectors... they only had smalls and I was on the cusp. Now I have a giro selector I can't get on my head over my big ears. |

I'm not 100% sure on helmet position so there is a good chance I'm wrong. I have a feeling that all of these promised aero gains are just as easily lost by not adjusting where it sits on my head properly. |
