Product Description:
By combining the low-profile style and coverage of skate-style helmets with the lighter weight and ventilation of high-performance XC helmets, the Giro Xen Mountain Bike Helmet is built for all-mountain riding. This mountain-bike helmet is constructed with Giro’s Hardbody 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 Xen 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 wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 17 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out. Giro’s Xen helmet 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 Xen 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 Xen helmet is a lightweight 310 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s safety standards for bicycle helmets.

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 musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

110% COMFORTABLE by Shagui
It fits very snugly, no movement when you secure it properly.
You will be ok with the price when you feel the diference between cheaper helmets and an expensive one. The interior pads shows the best quallity providing the best fiting sensation you ever tried.
No regrets.
I chosed the White one, is cooler in suny days, and the design is not White , it’s kind of “electronic camuflage” (as the USA Army uniforms)in white, gray and so, Nice design!!!
The Xen helmet provides more protection in your back head than other helmets from other brands
The fiting mechanism works grate.
The price maybe is a little high, buth is worth it for the quallity you obtain.
I highly recomend it.
Stylish, functional, affordable by R. Abdul-Haqq
I own this helmet in the sage green. It’s a great helmet that has a lot of ventilation and is very light. There’s really not much else to say. I bought this from a brick and mortar store, so if you’re worried about how it will fit/feel you may want to visit your local bike store.
Love this lid! by H. Humbert
This is the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever worn. Light and cool, and if I can trust my friend’s opinion, the coolest looking as well. I’m less concerned about looks, but I believe it’s safer due to its shape- less likely to get my neck twisted in a spill without the pointed back end I’ve had on other helmets. Pricey, but worth it to me. The adjustable visor is nice too.
First impressions by NGB
The helmet is going to be used in a hot climate so ventilation is very important. The large air scoopes seem to offer good air flow and you can feel the air flowing though the helmet.
The helmet fit is excellent and the retaining mechanism work very well. I think once the temps warm up a headband will have to be used to wick away the sweat as it is a very snug fit at the front.
Construction seems good, although I hope not to put it to the test, and the adjustable visor is very useful for rides around sunset.
