Has any one had any experience with Epic M40 helmets..?? Its just that all the size charts for German helmets say:-
64 lid and 56/57 liner or 66 lid and 58/59 liner, however Epic's website have helmets with 57/58 liners which(after a phone call) are in 64 lids and their 59/60 ones are in 68 lids.
As you see Epic's sizes don't seem to match up to normal size charts..
So as I've a 58cm head do I order a 57/58 as per their website, but will it look small on me??
Most threads on here say German helmets really need to look right as a really can ruin the look of your load out..
As always any advice greatly received..
Regards Chris.

Thank you so much for your reply, but as you have not stated your actual head size, I don't think it answers my original question?
Kind Regards, Chris.

Ok.. So who can recommend a supplier who does 66 lids at a reasonable price.. If I'm going to spend my hard earned spondoler's on a helmet, I may as well buy the correct size. ie. 66 lid and a 58/59 liner as per the originals..
