Can anyone give some comparison on the fit and depth (that is, how far down it goes on your noggin) of this helmet (Altios) versus the petzl Elios?Also, is it constructed to give more side protection than the Elios?

It has a very similar fit to the elios, but has an insert that goes in above your head which can take up space and add some suspension, but you can just pull it out and give the helmet more depth. It has very similar protection to the elios. I would say it is overall just a little bit nicer and more hi tech.
