Product Description
The Giro Hex Mountain Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Hex utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability.

This Giro helmet features 21 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out. The Giro Hex also features a P.O.V. (Point Of View) adjustable visor that is anchored by a patented internal clutch, which allows 15-degrees of vertical adjustment and prevents the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough terrain.

The Hex mountain helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Hex helmet is a lightweight 310 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

Helmet Tips--You Should Always...

  • Wear a helmet when you ride
  • Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead
  • Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap
  • Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
  • Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
  • Wear a helmet designed for your activity

About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

4 out of 5 stars Good helmet....   January 1, 2010
Richard Tan (Singapore)
This is a good helmet which I bought for my boy, he likes it and comment it to be vey cooling in our hot Singapore climate.

Good quality construction too.



4 out of 5 stars Good Design; Too Pricy   September 2, 2009
D. Ufford (Everywhere, USA)
I really enjoy and respect Giro helmets. They are durable, effective, and well-designed. However, they are way too pricy. I needed a helmet fast, and I found this one to be just what I needed. However, I still regret paying so much for it. Also, the size adjuster on this helmet is a ridiculous mess. I do not understand why it does not just have a turn dial adjustmer instead of the nightmarish slide adjuster. The adjustable visor is a nice option, and this helmet provides EXCELLENT air flow to the head.


5 out of 5 stars Keeps my head cool!   August 20, 2009
Austin Guy 2005
Looks good, durable, and keeps my head cool during a long ride. My only complaint is I got a medium (I think I have a rather small head as my last helmet was a small (and I don't think I resemble a bobblehead what so ever) and it barely fits on my head with the adjustment straps expanded to their fullest. So I would buy a large if I had to do it again (hard to try on before it shows up in the mail). Great helmet though!


5 out of 5 stars Looks cool, feels cool, fits great -- what more do you want?   January 19, 2009
xcu (Sherman Oaks, CA)
Great Helmet! I like the design with all the angles and I like the fact the helmet doesnt stick out too much in the back. It's about as compact as a helmet can be and still protect you. Is light and vents well. Not too dorky looking. Buy the right size for you and it fits great. And, of course, NEVER buy a "universal" one-size-fits-all helmet -- that really means it won't fit (they really should be outlawed because they won't provide as good of protection.) This is a really good helmet. I'm going to buy another, in case this one ever gets tested (crash!).


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Helmet   December 26, 2008
Anthony Ingenito (Sarasota, FL)
I bought this helmet because my old helmet almost made me pass-out after a few strenuous trail runs in the Florida heat. I had read other reviews (on MTBR) where people had claimed that this helmet had excellent air flow. They were correct. You can actually feel the air flowing through the deep grooves in the underside of the helmet. The helmet is light, and has extra protection for the lower part of the back of your head. It is also comfortable and looks great in the matte-black color.
