i recently received a bern hard hat and dont really like the fit. it is a xl and brand new only took out of the box to try on. i didnt order the one with the knit but it does come with the ear pad. i bought it for $50+15 for shipping so i am looking to get $60.it is the eps foam so see the link to it for all the details about it and size http://www.aggressivemall.com/Bern-Macon-EPS-Helmet-CPSC-Certified-p/bern-hardhat-macon-eps.htm
