[Closed] HELMETs - choose

The Vice, bored seeing the Hex around.

Whichever fits best

I was going to say exactly what TJ said, maybe with more punctuation. Message is still the same.

Giro's have gone up in price, but Specialised helmets don't seem to have gone up at all/as much. Maybe makes them better VFM.

Or... are you buying online without trying on?

tried both - small in both - i can have both on ma weird head without chinstrap done up and they won't fall off if i go upside down - Vice adjustment may be the decider

Can't comment on the Vice but I have a hex and it's quite solid I used it for a year or so then relegated it to use on the commute and it stands up to being bashed around when strapped to my bag and being dropped quite a lot. I don't think the retention system is a good as ones with a dial you wind up as the giro one can't really be done one handed and it gets a bit hot. Overall a good helmet for the cash I thought but they are common as muck, particularly so in london it seams.

I prefer the Vice, looks nicer and very nicely put together, unfortunately Spesh helmets don't fit me, so I got a Xen.

Have a Hex. Fit is good for me but, as has been said, take what fits you best. Personally, most Specialized helmets look/fit rubbish on me.

My Hex fell to bits. The bit where the cradle attaches to the shell (by your temple) broke.
I've used a Fox Flux since. Uber bomb proof it is..

Vice is nice

the Hex's always look as if they are perched on the head rather than around your head.

For that reason I would say the Speccy.
