Catlike Whisper owners?

LardLover

Looking to buy a Catlike Whisper but unfortunately there aren't any dealers in my area that sell them. I've measured my bonce and I'm at the top end of the medium, just smaller (by a couple of millimetres) than the minimum for the size large. Currently I'm a medium in an S-Works 2D helmet, and can get a cap on comfortably underneath in this cold weather.

My question is thus:

Are they a small fitting? Do you think I'd get away with a medium? I was going to order one and try it on, if it's no good then it'll go back (cheaper than paying for petrol driving to a Catlike dealer). What i don't want to do is order a medium, find it's just a little too tight, send it back, get a large to try on, find it's no good and send that back too. I'd rather just order the correct size and send one back if it's no good :shock:

Does that make sense????

Hey-ho, where's me wine!

They come up quite small

Too bulky

Feel like I'm wearing a wooly hat in the summer when I wear mine.

The old version was loads better.

Really?? I didn't think they looked that big.

Might just be worth trying the large then if they come up small.

I had the old Catlike Whisper before the "Plus" came out. The old Catlike Whisper was the best helmet I'd ever used. Crashed it. Bought a Catlike Whisper Plus as a replacement.

They added loads more polystyrene and changed the fit. So now as soon as a warm day comes along it feels like a wooly hat, which the old one didn't.

I think I need to find somewhere that sells them and try one on otherwise this might get expensive!

To be honest I'd go with a totally different helmet.

I've just ordered a Spesh 2D helmet, tried a medium on today and fits loads better than my medium Whisper Plus. The spesh is also loads lighter.

The Catlike Whisper Plus weighs a tonne and they are way too bulky for such an expensive helmet.
