Any thoughts on the Fox Rampage? Do they have fully removable linings? If not, any oother suggestions?

Too expensive and cumbersome (I tried one on last time I was looking for a new helmet.

After a lot of web trawling, I’ve just ordered the Giro Cipher, looks to me to be the best value, I’ll let you know once I get it.

Funnily enough, I’ve just been looking at one of those as well. I can’t seem to find any reviews, though.

Yeah, it’s fairly new I guess. One of the reasons I went for it is size; I’ve got a huge head, 61cm, and their large covers this, it looks good in the photos, I went for the white red and black.

I was in the same boat a couple of weeks ago. After trying on a number of brands I was down to the Giro Cipher and the Fox Rampage. In the end I swallowed the slightly larger price tag and (imo) not quite so nice styling and opted for the better fit of the cipher. So far it has been excellent. The ventilation is good and I found it comfortable for long periods of time I have not yet used it for a whole day as, on its first outing at BPW, I crash hard in one of the black rock gardens. The helmet held up well to the impact and the peak just bent out the way of the impact rather than snapping. Lucky as you don’t seem to be able to get spares yet. The GoPro mount seems sturdy although I don’t have one to test it with. All in all other than the availability of spare peaks it seems perfect and I am very glad I chose the Giro.

Well, so much for budgets, lol.

I went over to Evans and trued on the Rampage, The Spesh Dissident Comp and the Rampage Pro and guess what? I went for the Rampage Pro. It just felt far more comfortable than the others.
