Hah, we always seem to reply to each other on PB too! +1 for Pedalsport. Last fall I walked in intending to buy an invader, but both the v1 and v2 just weren't comfortable at all. I have a pretty typical head shape and a decent amount of hair so I was really surprised to feel every single one of those blue shock absorbers poking into my scalp.
The helmet was ridiculously light, and looked perfect for the blue trails I take my kids on, so I was pretty bummed out. One of the Pedalsport guys suggested the Giant Realm helmet (think the fox drop frame) for the 3/4 coverage and I love it. Enough protection to be comfortable doing dumb moves, not too warm for hot days and not too weird for easier riding. I can hear way better out of it than my old full face and a huge thing that's awesome is I can still yell loud enough for the kids to hear me up ahead.
