[Closed] Giro Feature or Fox Flux ?

get the one on the left.

How about the 661 Recon?

Giro has a crash replacement policy (have used it myself twice) whereas Fox doesn't AFAIK.

Have had a Flux for some time and more recently a Feature. They are both very good the Flux I think is a little more luxurious and probably a little more trail-tastic whereas the Feature is a bit basic like a rally car but the coverage is better and imo it looks more gnar.

The Feature is well thought-out and is unobtrusively light for a helmet of this type. There's not a lot of the interior in contact with the head so it makes good use the fairly basic ventilation. The only negative is the chin straps are cheap verging on nasty and don't have under-ear adjusters which could be a problem if your ears aren't where Giro think they ought to be

I wear the Flux for sociable trail riding and the Feature when I'm 'on fire' 🙂

You might also want to consider a Fox Striker.

Fox do have a crash replacement warranty thing. It is very efficient IME and they do not require proof of purchase. When I dinged my Flux earlier this year I sent it back to them on a Wednesday and had a new helmet by Saturday.

Just bought a Striker ,to replace my MET (KAOS)that I did a headstand on 🙄

Went a size down on my norm ,as Fox sizes seem to have a bigger fit.
First test ride tonight,I wonder how waterproof it is ? 😀

That new POC one looks nice too.

Have used the Fox Flux for 18 months with no problems. Shop around and you should get last years model at a good price

Fox Flux is a great helmet but I find it very hot, so great for colder days.

Fox do have a crash replacement warranty thing.

Thanks for that - I was unaware!

I liked my Flux a lot- it's massive and heavy though. Their newer Striker is a much better helmet in most ways but does have a wee bit less bottom-of-head cover. Haven't worn a Feature but my old Hex was a well put together bit of kit, better thought out than the Flux tbh but not as good in use for me- too "top of head"
