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.

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.

We have a winner! by Alan Ault
It’s nice to be able to find items like this at about half the retail price offered in most bicycle shops. After testing most helmets I found the HEX the most comfortable. I recommend this helmet over many more expensive models as it offers very adequate protection. It won’t however save your ankle!
super light and comfortable by M. Doiron
First off the adjustment system Giro has ROCKS! The rear head adjust “Roc Loc” system is great, everything adjusts very eaisly and stays put. I had an older Giro that alway worked the ear buds to my iPod out, thats not a problem on this model. Very light, super ventilation, and looks slick. I’ve been very happy with this helmet.
Crashed it and it did it’s job well… by Mr. W. D. Holder
I’m sitting here having just ordered my second Gyro Hex helmet. I’m typing with a broken bone in my elbow and a cracked rib, but thankfully a fully intact skull…
Living in Seattle we have a certain amount of rain, this summer slightly less so. So a couple of weeks ago on my way into work I wasn’t paying proper attention for a rainy Monday morning ride, hit a slippery patch on a corner at 15-20mph, my bike flipped and my 190lb self ended up plummeting head (and elbow) first into the asphalt…
I have never been so glad of a helmet in all of my life; it totally absorbed the impact (all be it by cracking into four parts, as expected). The actual structure of the helmet stayed together and gave my head all of the protection it needed as I slid along… The best 90 bucks I have spent all year
Initially I was going to buy a cheaper model as in 35 years of cycling I’ve never really had any need for the protection, but I’m glad that Matt black styling convinced me to pay the extra for a helmet which really did it’s job…
As well as the protection, I found this helmet nice and cool and very comfortable to wear on a 16 mile daily commute (for the 6 months until I broke it…)
Budget Zen by M. Doong
I almost got Giro Zen. But the high price made me think twice. Then I came accross this Hex. It is not as perfect fit as Zen to me, but still comfortable. It has similar features as Zen, with a lot less price. It even has better looking then Zen in my opinion. Highly recommended if it fits you.
