Just want to add that when testing the fit put the helmet on and leave it on for ~ 15 minutes to make sure that it isn't too snug...and yeah it was a bit weird sitting in the shop w/a helmet on for that long.


I was able to put the helmets side by side and measure them. The eye ports are similar in size but different in shape and position, the Stilo having less helmet under the opening so that is the difference for me at least. After spending a couple of days in the Stilo it is definitely the helmet for my needs. Passed the M8 on to a guy off of Rennlist and he is super happy with it so all worked out. Shows the importance of trying multiple helmets on if at all possible.
