Really want one, but not sure which colour to get. Show me yours and how good you look in it. This may help me decide which colour will best suit me (sadly my LBS only had the green soft cover and the white).

Now that's a specialist fetish… 8) But I'll post pics of my helmet for anyone –

The 'olive-fade' one.

I feel discriminated and excluded from this topic, would a picture of me wearing my Bell Variant and a collection of edible fungi suffice?

Here you go…

I don't think they do the blue with pink dangly anymore

get an sworks one…way nice! the giros look like the old shrooms on your head!

Look like mtb helmets to me

Incidentally, I had a Xen for 5+ years, and recently moved to a Fox Flux. I definitely prefer the latter, and it doesn't look quite so much like a giant bellend on my head.

naaah.. I've got a hex which is hugely like a mushroom/bellend.. but a mate of mine has a flux and he looks a proper dickhead in it..

😆 😆 😆

the use of the word 'bellend' really tickled me here at boring old work 🙂

Same here, I also have no idea why it's funny 😆

very underrated term of abuse as well… so sumptuous…. belllllend… rolls off the tongue nicely..

lol touche, though of course some people just have no hope, irrespective of the helmet 😉

Don't think any of these would persuade me to buy one!

don't get the gold like me, my kids reckon it looks like a ducks bill

good helmet though

I looked a proper **** in my Xen yet some people look fine, as with all helmets it's horses for courses.

Do you look different in other helmets Mike?

Pedalhead, you look more special than the first picture BigJohn posted up

There's an obvious answer to that, but I shall resist… 😉

FWIW I think they look good on everybody 🙂

Yep, peak less roadie helmets suit me much better, also helmets that have a deeper fit on the sides, the Met Inferno UL fits the bill for me.

EDIT: Momentary sense of humour bypass.

none of the pics above are really selling the helmet guys, and to boot with the use of the word 'bellend' in the same sentence goes along way 😆 😆 for some reason this thread has tickled me massively, i think its the fact who ever admitted to looking a dick in it started me off 😆

Not if you have a longish head and they don't, the same can be said for most giro helmets though.

Yeah, wtf was *that* all about, BigJohn? I'm pleased to say that I don't always look like Vivian.

Has to be said that the 'L' Xen does increase the heads girth rather more than most helemts.
Very hot & sweaty too – never had sweat running down my foreskhead in a helmet until this one.

Very hot & sweaty too

Another very big drawback of the Xen.

Mine is just big and round.

As is my head.

'great' helmet then……the threads better than the helmet x232323323

Me in my Xen in 2006, after owning the Karrimor trail at CyB.

I'm a very loyal Giro user and have since moved on to an E2, a much better helmet then the Xen, IMHO.
