Which shape helmet for my riding?

[braailegend]

Im currently using one of my old pis-pots, but its getting to hot and my Bell XC helmet just keeps on moving around. Think a full face is just a bit much, so I was looking at this shape of helmets, much like the 661 Recon. Are these helmets a gimmick or do they work proper good? Anyone out there use them or use similar helmets? My riding basicly consist of riding flat areas, pushing hills and nailing single tracks/ sweet sections/ Drops. Not full on DH

Try a Fox Flux, you wont look back. It is comfy, light, Looks great and has more protection than a normal XC helmet - The rear section extends down to provide more protection for the back of your scone!!

You're a bit late, Nik - but on the right track! Have a look at his last post!

Cool, looks like I made the right choice! Need that protection at the back!! My hardest crash was where backwheel nicked on a highspeed bunnyhop, and flipped... scraped the whole back of head away... Woke up in Hospital later that night, missing a day.

Got the fox flux today 12:00.. 12:05 I was on the trails to test it. Sweet helmet, didnt move at all and enough holes for some venting!!

I know this post is a bit late....but the 661 Recon Stealth lid is awesome!

 

Great comfy fit + super ventilation. Removable padding on inside for washing. I ordered the matte white so it's not that hot either (compared to darker colors).
