Stilo is a good brand but only if it fits your head. Ie, I can't wear an OMP as I don't find them comfy. Arai helmets I find comfy.

I think Stilo and Arai are similar, as are OMP and Bell and Sparco aswell I think. Just different shape foam and shells.

I personally like the Stilos, their ear cups are noise cancelling and work extremely well; i like the integrated plug in the helmet rather than having a cable hanging down with a heavy plug halfway along. I also have the integrated drinks system in my carbon Stilo.

Steph had her heart set on a Stilo but she didn't like the fit. She now has 2 OMP helmets that she says fit her perfect.

Ignore brands, get what fits the best and is the comfiest.

And I know Blaise and Brendon have already said, but I have Stilo <-> Peltor adapters both ways if anyone needs one. I also have a WRC emergency headset which is essentially a plug, 2 speakers for the ears and a microphone.
