I have a DRT5 as per my previous post. My head is size 6 7/8 and the medium fits me well as does the medium in the MOD5 snow helmet.
I can confirm that the wire from the Boa system does bite quite a bit into the side of my head when it is tightened, leaving a line in the side of my head.
Additionally, I don’t find that the soft rubber forehead gasket designed to channel sweat away tends to work very well. I consistently have sweat draining straight down my face. There is a replaceable soft cloth front pad that I may change in place of the soft rubber gasket but I have yet to try it.
If you can get one at a discount, go for it but I wouldn’t pay the $275 (Canadian) retail price which is already higher than most helmets on the market.
