I'm only interested in the blue/black or the Team ed's.

Another two weeks though to wait...

*sigh*

Local supplier or overseas? I think the Specialized Prevail still hasn't passed the AS testing yet so I'd be surprised if the Aeon has.

I used mine for the first time yesterday. Very nice, indeed. I know it's cliched, but for the first time ever, I can honestly say that it felt as if I had nothing on my head. The ventilation felt superior to the Ionos.

Holy crap, that's light! @pastronef, the Kask is really big (no size 'small') and (comparatively) heavy.

For those who have it already: how is the fit? Comparable to Atmos/Ionos?

If fits similar to the Ionos, not like the Atmos. (for me at least).

It sits lower down the forehead, like the Ionos. (which is a good thing, I think)

The Atmos was always way above my glasses. (a little funny looking, for me)

Contrary to an online review I read. I was able to get Oakley Radar's and Split jackets to fit in the vents, for stowing them during climbing. (not as good as the Atmos, or Phenmo, but good enough) :thumbup:

I wish helmet companys took this into consideration during design. At least gave it more weight, so-to-speak. Maybe not enough people do it.
I miss my Pheumo. :cry: It was perfect.
Hopfully the Aeon will make up for it. :D

Thanks! Ionos and Atmos are indeed (a bit) different, though they both fit me well, which I would think bodes well for the Aeon. Trying it on yourself is of course best, but I was curious what to expect (I don't believe it's for sale here yet).
And with the weight I can imagine it feels wonderful compared to a/o Ionos and Atmos, although I must say I've never thought those are too heavy when wearing one.

I definitely will!
(Not using my Ionos anymore after an accident last year. Now using my older Atmos, but I want a new helmet... The Aeon was announced just in time; otherwise I would've probably gotten another Ionos pretty soon.)
