monty-james Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have a Giro helmet, i cant remember the model name because its a few years old and its my brothers old helmet. Its perfect, fits well, comfotable, looks good and its lasted for about 5 years through me and my brother but unfortunatly they stopped making them. I ordered a hex because my brother wanted his helmet back as he's started riding again. Anyway thats not the point, the point is i got it, it was uncomfortable, it sat on the top of my head, the adjustment thigns in the top of the helmet that determines the height of the helmet didnt lock in place, you'd move it to one position and as soon as you put the helmet on, it would move down on or two positions. Thats probably me being picky but i can imagine it being tidious after a while. The only good thing is the looks really. I persauded my brother to have the new one and i keep his old one though so, problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notknown Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 everyone needs to own a Kask "vertigo" honestly the most comfortable helmet ever made. i have possibly the worst shape head for a helmet but i forget im wearing one of these.

onza1 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Which is ironic, because his order from them probably won't show up either. Pretty much every buying experience I've had with Winstanleys has been fraught with problems, and I've heard plenty of horror stories from other people who've used them too. If you order from them, it's probably best to do it over the phone and get them to check it's in stock then if possible. I ordered my phase from winstanleys it was over the phone but ordered 22nd December here on Christmas eve that's good service by anyones standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've got a flux.. Love the looks one problem: My hair used to get caught at the adjustable strap area near the back of my head. Solution: put tape over the joints All in all, fitting is good, after putting the tape on, hair doesnt get caught anymore and everything is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontySamba Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Definately fox flux!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I got the Flux today and think I'm going to stick with it over the Hex. The hex does feel very comfortable and fits well but there's just something about it which I don't like so it's going back. Just for the record, I would've got the Flux from the Tarty boys but they didn't have the 'Military' colourway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9604 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The hex just seemed to sit ontop of my head and did not feel as comfortable as the flux, which as soon as I put the flux on my head it was love at first site and feel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 You b*****d... I'm sorry If it's any consolation, while ordering I felt like I was cheating on my girlfriend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
