What customers say about "Features"
Giro Hex Mountain Bike Helmet
- This HEX is used mainly on my observed trials bike and it is VERY comfy and VERY air-flow oriented. just look at those large vents.
- The Giro Hex - a great well ventilated well crafted helmet. Bell helmets and Giro are the same company and Bell is legendary in head protection.
- Found this helmet and have been very happy. It's cooler than the Ambush and fits as well.
- I bought this helmet because it fits me great. There are many adjustable helmets out there, but this one doesn't seem to wiggle at all when I move my head around.
- The strap system and harness is easy to adjust, fit can be fine-tuned, and the removable visor (typical feature of quality gear) is a nice touch.
Giro Xar Matte Black Lime Mountain Bike Helmet Size Large
- I never get on my bike without my helmet and really value this one as it fits really well and you hardly notice its on.
- I've found it easy to adjust, pretty light and all round visibility is good too
- The rear wheel ajustment is spot on and the ventilation is very good.
- Due to the good fit and high quality, really trust the helmet and would definitely buy the same again.
- The fit is great, the strap ajustment is easy and makes the helmet sit well.
