PeanuckleJive Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Most helmets are made to the same safety standards and so, in theory, Offer the same protection But you definitely want a helmet which protects the back of your head well, for when you go over backwards. The giro xen is an enormously popular helmet amongst trials riders, and for good reason too. It's an awesome helmet, covers the back of your head and is ridiculously light, very comfortable to wear. They're not all that cheap, but definitely the best helmet I've ever worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlly21 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 cheers i'll have a look at it P.S your very quik and helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just bear in mind that if you buy online, you might have to send it back to get a different size/model (obviosuly). Generally freeride style helmets give the best coverage/protection without being full face... I've seen the Fox Flux (on Tarty) in the flesh and was impressed. Sadly my weird shaped head means it doesn't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
