Catlike helmet questions: Whisper Plus and Mixino

    I'm looking for a replacement for my Catlike Whisper Plus helmet. I've had it for several years now and been very happy with it (it's very comfortable - it fits me very well, is light, and is very well aerated). I had intended to buy the same model again but the Mixino looks very interesting too.

    I'm wary of buying a Mixino online though. The size guide differs between the 2 models - my head circumference is 57cm and I wear a medium Whisper Plus (54-58cm), but the medium mixino is for up to 57cm so I'm right on the boundary between medium and large. What's more, my medium Whisper Plus is adjusted to an extent that it seems like it is almost too big for my head despite me being at the upper end of its size range, and when I bought it (in Wheelworx) I seem to recall that a Whisper Plus model from the previous year but in the same size was a poor fit.

    So I reckon that I ideally need to try on a Mixino before I buy, and based on past sizing inconsistencies I probably even need to try on a current model of Whisper Plus if I decide to go with that. Halfords stock the latter but I've found no Dublin store that stock the Mixino.

    So my questions:

    * Does anyone know any Dublin stores that stock Catlike other than Halfords? Wheelworx no longer list the brand on their website.

    * Has anyone tried both a Whisper Plus and a Mixino and if so did you find the fit of the two comparable?

    Thanks.
