MTB Reviews > Helmets > Giro Xen
Description: (from giro.com)
The Xen balances the smooth, low profile style and coverge of skate-style helmets with the lighter weight and ventilation of high-performance XC helmets. It's the enlightened choice for today's all-mountain ride style. Fit System: Roc Loc 4. Construction: In-mold Hardbody. Ventilation: 17 Wind Tunnel vents, internal channeling. Features: P.O.V. adjustable visor. Weight: 11 oz. / 310g. Sizes: Small (51-55cm), Medium

Pros
Comfort, Lightweight.
Review
Take the time to actually learn how adjustable this helmet is. There are several adjustments that will help with the overall fit.
Pros
Great fit and plenty of protection. Cool styling and good venting for those hot days. Very durable and comfortable. The adjustability of the Roc Loc 4 is just awesome.
Cons
None that I can think of except little visior adjustability.

Not much I can say that hasn't been already said. This helmet is top notch! Love the design, good air flow and good protection. I like the rear quick locking band for a secure fit, it's easy to adjust with one hand.

If you ride regularly at all, get this helmet and you will love it. I've used one for about 3 years (on my second one, first one saved my life in a bad crash) and I just got my wife to switch and she said she doesn't know how she used anything else.
Also, watch for sales, the list price is quite steep.

This is a very comfortable helmet with great protection. Hardly know it's there. Great air flow on those hot muggy rides.
