One is likely faster then the other on you... The other may be faster on me...

I got that data from searching.

IIRC, the consensus from Aerocamp was the Evade was a pretty fast helmet across most riders. The Wing 57 wasn't.

Pretty sure the consensus is more along the lines of real aero helmet almost always tops aero road helmet, and the Evade is generally a very good aero road helmet.

Yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong but I even think the Evade is on par with the Specialized TT2. I recall a post on facebook from Jordan implying this.

Correct, but I believe desert dude expounded in the Wing 57 and said it never really tested that well. He further encouraged others in his age group to wear it Wink

Wing57 delivery has, once again, been delayed to June '14. This is the third delay since placing my pre-order in October. Picking up a Giro A.A. this week and will most likely cancel my W57 order.

Also, despite the website saying there are two sizes (S/M, L), the E-Rudy tech on the phone assured me that there is only a one-size-fits-all.

there are def two sizes, i have the smaller size. I thought the wingspan was big and bulky on a smaller head, hence i sold it and bought a wing 57. It is much smaller on my head than the wingspan was. I know people are jumping down its throat a bit but it didnt test THAT bad and was ok on some people from memory. The thing i like about the wing 57 is it sort of curves around your head. Trying to mold the ear flaps of the wingspan wasnt that great.
As for the evade im a fan of that too, but as i mentioned my eyeball wind tunnel doesnt think its as aero compared to the wing 57. I could be wrong. If its hot as hell it could be an option.
