This is very light, hardly noticeable while wearing.
This is my fist bike helmet. It fits great and its extremely light.
The most comfortable helmet I tried and also the lightest. Worth the extra cost over others.
Very light, you hardly realize you're wearing it. Vented well, my melon never overheated.

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.
