Bumping this to see if anyone has any experience with these in larger sizes. Are they a totally different shape or just bigger?
Backstory: I've worn Smith goggles and helmets for years and love them. We have a pro-deal through work and they are a great company and awesome to work with and generous in their pro-deals, never had a bad experience. So I order a new Vantage to replace my old Smith ski helmet and order a large because I have a huge head and it's their biggest size. It's also the same size as my new smith bike helmet I ordered not but 6 months ago and both helmets list the same measurements for head circumference. Put the ski helmet on and it's so tight my head is aching after a minute, forget fitting a skullcap or balaclava under it.
Why the inconsistent sizing? Will an asian fit be better for my large but caucasian shaped head? They list one color of the standard fit Vantage (sage I think) as coming in extra large but don't list that size for any other colors. Plus the asian fit doesn't have all the same colors as the standard and this is Aspen and I have a certain image. So now I'm stuck with a helmet I can't return and I'm not sure if I should try the bigger asian fit helmets or say "Fuck You Smith" until they can figure out more consistent sizing across helmets?
