I was told that the GP-Tech has 3 outer shell sizes and 4 EPS sizes?  If I have a size S helmet, can I swap out the padding and put in size M padding to make it a size M helmet?

It has three shell sizes.
What differs within one shell size must be the foam and/or the padding.

If it's the foam - not sure if that can be changed,
but if it's only padding - you probably can.

Do the small and medium share the same shell?

I know that the 2XL and the 3XL share the largest shell.

Logic tells me that the XL and L share the middle sized shell (not sure)

If so, M and S (XS ?) share the small shell (again not sure)

Makes sense...

I guess the OP should ask AGV if the padding from different size helmets will work to make the helmet roomier.

I spoke with AGV in Costa Mesa, CA.  The GP-tech has 3 different outer shell sizes and 4 different internal EPS sizes.  To swap different padding/liner size, the outer shell size does not matter.  As long as the internal EPS size is the same, you can swap the padding/liner.  Here are the sizes that share the same internal EPS size.  XXS/XS, S/M, L/XL, XXL/XXXL.

S and M does share the same internal EPS size.  So if you have a S or M helmet, you can interchange S and M padding.

I just got my hands on a limited edition Rossi Dreamtime GP-Tech helmet in a size S.  I wear a size M.  I just wanted to make sure I can put size M padding in a size S helmet  [thumbsup]

Nice score.

I like my GP-Tech.

Enjoy.

This will be my first GP-Tech.  I have 2 Ti-Tech currently.  Love them both.  Tried on a GP-Tech the other day and just loved the fit.  Can't wait for it to come in the mail.
