Ok, so after an unexpected ‘tree – helmet interface’ yesterday, I am now in need of a new helmet 🙁 It was a Giro Hex and did a good job, as I am okay apart from a stiff neck, rather than concussed and drinking through a straw.

So, what do the masses recommend, just another Hex (As I have now tested their operation) or is there an alternative to them now, for similar budget.

Thanks folks

Usual, one that fits rule.
On a Bell super but too warm for 25c+ riding. Fox Flux & Stiker are good allround but light alternatives

Had seen the foxes… any views as to whether they are more/less comfy than a Hex?

I do run hot, so I guess the Bell would be out for me.

Tempted to just pick up another hex as I know it fits/works.

depends on your head

He he. Well I’ve got one, if that is any help?

‘spose I’d better go and do some trying on.

well done you have worked out the way to test out helmet fit and comfort

And you have gone to top of the class for patronisationisim 😉

I was only trying to work out which ones to look at, which I now do so cheers for the pointers, much appreciated.

yeah I know I tried the suggestions but they generally never fitted or what did wasn’t good or vice versa. It’s a really specific world for fit.

Ive just got a 661 recon. Think I’ve got quite a round head!!( 60cm )and got a large and its one of the best fitting helmets I’ve had. Could never get on with Giro previously. IME helmets are like saddles , very much a personal fit thing

Tick. Athlon is getting a bit old and thought something with a bit more coverage might be useful.
