Peperami Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Right, time to pick a new helmet. Have narrowed it down to either a giro xen/ e2, fox flux or a peepot.Unfortunately i have a large head, so half the helmets look daft in large, like a spaceship has landed or summat...What would you pick?

Danny Kearns Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Xem all the way. Looks great, so comfy it's unreal and light weight too.Only problem is the price tag isn't too nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd go for a xen, i have a pretty meaty head too and it doesn't look bad at all!Fits around my noggin very nicely!The good thing with them is that they dont stick up a mile like others and are majorly comfy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peperami Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hmm, i bought a xen in medium and found it way uncomfy... as soon as my head got hot felt crushed in. Am sending it back in a bit, have tried a large xen on and it fit ok, but looked huge on my head spotted the flux though and thought that looked pretty neat, liking the extra protection at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I bought a Xen,I measured my head and it came out at the top level of the Medium size,so i got large and it's so comfy!xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 TSG superlight is a cracking lid, lighter than a xen and really comfy. And a steal at a couple pence short of £40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ha ha! Swaying towards a pisspot at the moment. God i must have been bored to make this topic.Get a try-all pisspot dan!

Matthew62 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 i was thinking of the Try-All lid too, its cheap and looks good, although Tartybikes have a much better selection than trialsman. Both colours and both designs in all sizes. I've got a meathead and i'm worried a pisspot might look a bit weird....My mum has actually got the Fox helmet and she is on her fourth one as it keeps breaking. They look great but have some big flaws with the clips that fox need to address. Good helmet but you might be sending it back a bit!!!

Tobias Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 i prefer the look of the vents of the fox than the xen! get the fox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well i ordered the Try-all earlier today so when it arrives i'll let you know how it works and looks on a meat head. I looked at the fox again and although some of the graphics are cool it is a bit weird and like ive said they go wrong a lot and theres a £40 differance. Atleast you can re-use the try-all if you hit hard a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 My Giro Havoc has served me well, light, comfy, £40, and they don't look to bad on the eyes either.Although mines a medium, large could look abit distorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 my try-all lid arrived today!!!! It is already boxed and wrapped ready for return. The fit really is horrible. My head is half an inch smaller than the maximum diameter of the helmet and it wobbles like crazy. Bare in mind that the helmet is meant to cater to head sizes much smaller than mine, i just don't see how. it looked good and felt comfy enough, but the pads are poor and for me the fit was just terrible. It would defently not stay on in a crash and although i prefer the look of the try-all over my current helmet - this is one area i will not choose form over function.I tried some really thick pads from my Semi-mx helmet (which are new) in it to see if the extra thickness owuld make it more secure, but some how it was still just as wobbly. So its packaged now ready to be returned. I might try the Giro Flak but i imagine it will be the same problem. Putting my semi-mx helmet back on its felt soo good, just comfy and right and was only £10 more - shame they dont make it anymore.Today has taught me, that for my head i will stick to Giro as they never fail!

Gandalf the Yellow Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 fox flux are great looking helmets and they're pretty roomy for the big-eads. though we've had many of them returned cos the clip was broken.stick with a giro, they last for ages if you look after them steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Protec Bucky Lasek (Spelling?) is the best fitting helmet ever:)Truth! Good luck finding one though, stupid legislation change means that they're illegal to sell in this country now, so it's either eBay, or do what I did and get given one by a shop, and "Donate" the RRP to the shop Well worth it though, best fitting helmet I've ever had, and they sit nice and low so even in L/XL they don't look massive on you.When I rode trials I used to ride a Xen, and they were really good. Didn't have a problem with mine at all, and it felt pretty good. Reasonably well ventilated, and super easy to adjust, so yeah, I'd recommend them.
