I am planning to buy a new Petzl Elios. Taking my current one caving has resulted in a) me banging my head moderately hard when I slightly fell in a hole, so I'd rather save that helmet for caving and get a shiny new one I trust for climbing, and b) getting it all dirty :O (plus I probably want to bracket mount a caving light on the old one).
Decathlon (and Go Outdoors) are doing '2014' Elios helmets very cheap at the moment, but I have noticed that the Elios is shown on the Petzl website as a 'new product' to be released January 2016.

Does anybody know if they have actually made any changes and whether it is worth waiting until it is released (and available) and getting a 'new' one? I can't see any changes based on the images...
