    Yep, Giros Hex and Xen felt bloody 'orrible to me so I bought a Fox Flux instead... you need to try some on and find a comfy one.

    Where as I love my Xen, way comfier than my old helmet. Definitely worth a trip to your LBS (Ride On in Rawtenstall, they'll even give you a 10% discount if they're in good mood) to try a few.
