    I've got the xen and its great, but the hex is cheaper and has been airflow and is not as hot as the xen can get.

    Try it on first, I hated the Xen, didn't feel right at all (but I might have a funny shaped head!). I bought the Fox Flux instead, but the "wing" my not be to everyones taste..... Much better fit.....

    the giro animas was a perfect fit i just looked wierd,i have a long thin face and the helmet was like a big lump on top,as i said i looked like a mushroom,i need a helmet that wont be as big on if you know what i mean,a more low profile.

    I have a Giro E2 that I use for commuting, very comfy helmet. Thats why I was suprized the Xen didn't feel right. I'm pretty sure that most helmets have a similar thickness of material. Maybe a full faceone like the Met Parachute, but I personally wouldn't bother, no-one looks at your helmet errr, as it were... ahem!

    im under no illusions i will look good in a helmet but that animas looked that bad it was ridiculous,problem is locally no-one seems to have much stock so think i will order a xen see how it goes
