Excellent discussion. The backcountry flying community is definitely warming up to helmets. Myself and another Scout friend just ordered Lift AV 2.1s. We were gonna be in the area of the Lift location in Southern Wisconsin and arranged to spend a few hours with them. Was a terrific idea as we were able to see the models, options and most importantly; get fitted and have the confidence we were ordering the correct size. I too would have expected a Medium would be my size but ended up needing a Large. We’re gonna go back when the helmets come in to ensure the best fitting tweaks. Highly recommend going there if possible OR doing something similar at OSH / a trade show as they do get around the circuit. Anyone reading this probably knows this, but USAF picked the Mil version of this helmet as the next gen solution for most of their fighter fleet.
