bikerider Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I've just found some Giro E2's going pretty cheap on Ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIRO-E2-CYCLE-HELMET...1QQcmdZViewItembut I've heard a lot of people on here recommend the Xenhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Giro-Xen-Matt-White-...1QQcmdZViewItemIs the Xen worth the extra tenner?thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Giro xen is more styled for bmx, trials and hardcore Xc, It has more protection around the back of the head. My personal opinion is that the Xen is well worth the extra 10 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEavoLa Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 hells yes!Xen everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 E2 all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 E2 all the way As long as it fits! No point getting the pimpest looking one if it falls off when you crash... Go to your local Halfords and try some on, find out what fits best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 E2 all the way Wrong answer, technically the xen is the better helmet because of the fixed chin strap system it uses, but if your a weight weenie then the e2 is lighter. I've got a xen and i've since not found a helmet better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Trying not to sound bias, but Xen's are really amazing helmet's really comfy, very breathable with an immense amount of head protection! However, as you have probably already heard, you should make sure it fit's you securely, or else you might as well not wear one !Cheers,Joe.

MikeHayes Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Giro helmet sizes are WAANNNKKKK.I have a havoc, medium which is too small, soo i thought I would measure my head and it came in at 61, so i ordered a large 59-63, so im smack in the middle, and f**k me its huge, the strap thing goes tight to my head, but i can fit a finger in at each side.Not happy as i have too send it back and they will charge handling fees and al that bollocks.EDIT: why the hell has my litte brother left him self signed in on my computer, dickhead.
