Rob Thomson Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well well, I feel the time has come to purchase a helmet as i like my head being intact So basically I'm looking for a nice helmet for my bonce that will save my life or at least boost my confidence a bit - looking for something quite slim, lightweight and neat fitting, nothing to bulbous or silly wide if that's possible...So if anyone has any advice then just holler back.Cheers,Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Giro xen light weight and strong xen or an E2 are usual trials favourates Here at ChainReactioCycles doesnt matter what year all will protect your head just depends how much dollar you got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I agree, the Xen is REALLY nice. Giro E2 is nice too, bit more racy and not as round shaped as the Xen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam O Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Giro Xen ***! It doesn't matter which year you can get off of chain reaction cycles as the only difference is colour and stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yup, another vote for the xen 07, really worth getting as it covers a lot of the back of your head/top of neck aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Met Veleno 2007 Such a lovely helmet, and nice the the Xen(in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumplestiltskin Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Giro Hex ***. Similar to the xen but way cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 ^^ ^^ ^^ as he says, if you cant really afford to push £80/90 for a Xen go for the "sister" helmet which is the Hex, Cool/Sleek looks £50 ish or summit. worth every penny.Uses "Roc-Loc3" to hold it to your head which is same as Animas (which RRP's @£70) and similar to Xen and E2, comfortable as you like, it doesnt feel like you have got it on your head G!R0 4TWWayne.

Richard jersey Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Giro Xen seems to be light and the helmet to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you want light weight, Giro E2 if you have the money.However, I'm quite liking the look of the new Fox Flux helmet. Check it out, might be what you are after, and something a little bit different from every man and his dog that has a Giro Xen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty boi Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Im just getting ready to order a helmet from spain same as benito'sbut in this colour, and it will have a visor.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I used to use a Giro E2 and loved it, I still have the E2 but as it was a few years old went out and bought a Giro Xen as a replacement.Both are awesome lids but I prefer the fit of the Xen.At the end of the day go into a shop and try on different helmets, everyone's heads are different shapes and you need to have a lid that you are comfortable wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David20 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Giro xen ***, those new fox flux helmets are decent aswell, mine didn't stay on my head very well though so I decided to get a xen, which has a much better fit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
