Subject: Aero Helmet Fit
I was wondering how aero helmets tend to fit. I've been looking at getting a used one. My head size is 58.5 cm, and the medium helmets usually run 55-59 cm. Would I be too tight if I went with a medium? Would it be okay to just go with a larger size, or would it be too big?

most of them have an adjustment inside so as long as your head fits the range you are good.  Go try one on at the bike store to be sure.

I have a big nogg'n and my to helmets prior made me look like an alien; when I picked up the Ballista, I tried to fit the Medium instead of the Large as I wanted as sleek a profile as I could get considering said head size. With a balaclava and the helmet I am firmly snug in there near max on the adjustment dial. Try them on and fit the smallest you can fit would be my suggestion

I bought a used Specialized helmet in the medium range with about the same head measurements and it fit fine.
