Rise of the "all-mountain" helmet

[Skylark]

Anyone know which stores have the FOX Flux in Durban , I'd like to buy one from a shop so I can check out the fit before I hand over the cash , gona cost me though!

I have ridden with a Fox Flux for a while, great helmet and awesome looking, but I have just ordered a Bell Sweep as I am finding the Fox a bit heavy, it's for sale BTW if anyone is keen. White Large

Specialized showed a new-for-2013 helmet targeted at the All-Mountain rider called the Tactic II. Designed by Motorsports helmet guru Bob lakes, the Tactic II sports a low, close fitting in-molded shell and a less aggressive profile that should play well to racers and riders who shy from XC helmet designs that appear to be styled after Acapulco's multi-tier beach-front time-share condominiums. The Tactic is tastefully sculpted to protect the head with a low back and a smooth profile. Plenty of vents should keep the rider cool in Summer and a ratcheting head band ensures a good fit. Specialized also designed in a vertical adjustment feature into the head band, and shortened the visor to provide maximum visibility. Specialized says, if you are going to buy only one helmet, then the Tactic II is it. Sizes are small, medium and large, and the price for the new Tactic II is a very affordable, $75 USD.

The Tactic II helmet is sculpted to please (and protect) All-mountain and gravity oriented riders who want a lighter-weight half-shell helmet. The rear of the helmet is low on the head and features Specialized's 'Headset SL' ratcheting headband. We liked the 'Tri Fit' buckle that spreads the retaining straps to clear most any ear types.

This also seems quite good, but very expensive

DUDE, Now you talking. This helmet is on the "want to have to have need it" list! I don't think my Giro Hex is going to come close to a POC. Without a doubt my next helmet - bugger the price!!!
