OK. The Roux Pininfarina cooling is substantially better than the original 2015 cooling. In 2015 models, the 'cooling' is just a handful of winding tubes running through the top padding - similar to what is on a shirt - but very few tubes. It was "ok" but not great.
For the Pininfarina line, they designed it more like the bladder style of the cool-a-clava and it encompasses much more of you head. Supposedly it increased the cooling substantially. I can't verify that because of the handful we've sold, nobody has used the cooling yet - or at least given me feedback on it. But from what they showed us about the new design, I have to believe it is a huge upgrade.

Have you tried Arai helmets? I'm not sure how they compare to Stilo, but if they fit you, I may have an option for you. I have a medium SA2020 Arai GP7 with clear & Dark Smoked visors sitting in my closet. I never used it. They are super comfy if they fit. Had a shoulder injury, rehabbed it and never got back to it. I need to let this go while it's got some life left.

As has been said earlier on in this thread, different helmets fit different sized heads. Bell fits me like a glove. Stilo gives me a migraine and Roux was somewhere in the middle.
Best thing to do when helmet shopping is to go to a shop and try on different brands.

And different Bell helmets fit different heads. They are one of the few manufactures that have varied helmet/head molds across their line.
