Interesting observation re: Borea vs. Boreo, and the notched headband!I think the Borea is basically the Boreo small but the notched bit of plastic (for ponytails) means it can't close down quite as small (hence 52-58cm instead of 48-58cm).
The new bungee clip at the rear for Boreo helmets is dumb (at least for caving) and in my limited experience doesn't work very well.
And I certainly agree - The rear bungee is stupid. I'm assuming it's designed for a battery pack, but it's way too flimsy on it's own to be trustworthy... As there also aren't any rear-clips for a headlamp's elastic straps, I resorted to 3D printing a custom mount. The downside is that the many hours' spent designing/iterating getting to a workable model, are pretty much specific to this helmet & headlamp combo... (It works well though.)
