Any word on when these are coming out? I have this and wingspan on order currently. I almost ordered a small as well, but doubt I can get it on.

I have the exact same head size (22"/right on SM cutoff) and whatever we had at the camp fit nicely. Stupidly I didn't write down what size we were testing, but I believe it was a small. Confident enough that it was a small I went ahead and ordered...but I may be wrong! I'll let you know when it gets here.

For reference I fit well in a Small/Medium Selector and Small/Medium Wingspan.

It was a small that we had at camp.

OP:

In that case the small fit nicely and with room to spare on my 22" head.

I wonder if I should just cancel the M order???

Hate to give a definitive answer with the possibility of it being wrong, but I wouldn't bother with it. I had a decent amount of "dial" room left and the helmet is nice and easy to get on with the elastic ear flaps and hinged visor.

sorry Gman to slightly hijack your thread,
Jack i was wondering what you remember from your testing of helmets. I have a bit of a dilemma. Im in Aus and our helmet choice is a bit limited in some respects. I have a wingspan from the US, but our tri club is cracking down on that AUS standards sticker due to an accident in which a competitor went down and had a Bell javelin from overseas aswell. Insurance may be a problem for her.
In any event, how did the Wing 57 test? I know it wasnt up there, but the P09 wont be available here till novemeber. The other options include the first LG vortice, giro series of helmets, kask, lasar tardiz and the wing 57. I may have missed a couple. I have quite a small noggin and the wingspan has been good to me, but was there any other helmets amongst the list that tested ok/near the P09?
Thanks and sorry Gman for the derailing.

I have a 57-58cm head and normally wear a Med in most helmets (Specialized, Giro, Bell). I was able to squeeze my head into the small. I kind of have a more narrow/long head shape than round. Some of the people there couldn't get their heads into it. I'm on the fence myself about whether to size up or not. I'll probably end up with the small though.

Standard disclaimer: Helmets will always be super personal. With that said here were my specific results and generalizations.

P-09: Fast and already ordered
McLaren: Fast, but slower than P-09
Wingspan: Good, but not best.

Didn't get a chance to test the Wing57, but it certainly wasn't the star of the show that the P-09 was. Aero helmets trump any sort of aero road lid.

That seems out of the claimed fit range for the small, I'm 57.5 and use small rudy project normally there goes to 58, so should I get the small p09? Smaller the better if I can where it comfortably. Is it really November 2014 on these?

from australia yeh, we have strict testing procedures etc that take foreever to be passed. This is what LG told me anyway. I assume the US has them out already?

Unless you get a chance to try it on, I'd go with what is on the fit chart. It was a very tight squeeze on me.

both the wingspan 57 and LG09 are on perpetual back order in the US. Not sure if its a safety approval or availability. I ordered both sizes now as the OP, I can send back the one that doesn't fit or at least sell it for what I paid for it based on the current back orders. does anyone know if the P09 are available in Germany or UK?

we are fortunate that the wing 57 is available now in Aus.....long way off the 09 though, i will have to pull the trigger on the rudy

in US , CS said they they had anticipated starting to ship them next week, not guaranteed, rather anticipated

The blue P-09 is available in Canada and the other colours will be available in March according to LG in Canada.

who are/is CS?

in the US is there a better/faster way to get them than ordering from the LG website?

CUSTOMER SERVICE

I realize this thread is about the LG-09 fit, availabilty , and aeroness.... But how does it compare to the Vortice for cooling?

I do well in the heat and usually don't have an opinion on helmet venting but I found the Vortice (NO visor) to run MUCH hotter than the Wingspan!

Since the LG-09 looks so similar to the Vortice... Has there been more info or comparisons in the venting/cooling aspect of the LG-09 ?

For those who have a P09 on order, was it through the LG online shop or another retailer?

Can't speak for the Vortice, and quite frankly not many people have even had it on their heads, but there was significantly more air flow than the Giro Selector. FWIW I've never overheated in the selector.

I have a wingspan and a rocket air, the wingspan is cooler than the rocket air. The rocket air seems faster head up, if you put the tail in the air it seems slower than the the wingspan. My data is sketchy not as controlled as the velo testing ex-cyclist and the others did, therefore using the word "seems"

I don't know how the vortice compares to rocket air.
