Exactly, find a helmet that fits,
Roux fits my head better than any helmet I’ve had, so I’m a big fan and why we carry them. I like the built in radio system, works well for us in our loud car and I like not having a separate cable or connection line on the helmet to fight with (I ripped out 2 in my old helme)t..never thought I’d need the water until a long hot AER Race with a ver long yellow session, (though my over exuberant team mate broke the fitting when he disconnected the hose from the helmet). Never noticed weight... neither has Nadine.

Be sure when you compare weights you compare apples to apples: helmet, intercom, Hans anchors, etc. “Listed” weights don’t always use fully loaded helmets to make it look lighter...

Is it tough keeping that matt black clean and scratch free?

If I were more careful...
Nadines helmet looks new...mine? Not bad but I’ve scratched it a few times on the window net front buckle while getting in the car..

Drink and ear sound is good.

The helmet is fragile for the external parts. Already replaced the water and cooling external parts.

I hope we could have an update on better head cooling from roux....
Any more comments in regards to the cooling in the Roux? I was going to get a new helmet for this season but been lazy and thinking about getting a new one for 2019. My Stilo is almost 5 years old now so it is time.

The Roux cooling offers about 20 degrees cooler compared to not using the cooling system. The Cool Shirt Cool-a-Clava is much colder but the bald guys say it's too cool and hurts their head since they don't have hair. And the Cool-a-Clava moves around - we recommend using 2-sided tape or velcro to position it inside the helmet. The Roux cooling has a series of small tubing manufactured into the helmet. The Cool-a-Clava is a thin, wafer like pad that goes right on top of the head and works with any helmet. It doesn't sit up under the liner like the Roux.
