Product Description
Always ready for the unexpected, the rugged, In-Mold technology ensures unparalleled protection and safety. 21 vents and sculpted Wind Tunnel ensure superior ventilation and cooling comfort on heated ascents.

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.

  • Wear a helmet designed for your activity

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.

5 out of 5 stars Great helmut   September 5, 2008
This is a light weight and very comfortable helmut. The fit is snug and well designed to keep your head cool with many air vents. Excellent product.


5 out of 5 stars just right   July 13, 2008
Light, easy to adjust, comfortable and looks good. With any luck I will never know what it is like in an accident.

Seems like there are a lot of helmets out there that are similar and decent quality, so the fact that it was on sale was what sold this one for me. Big props to Bike Nashbar for shipping it lightning fast!



3 out of 5 stars Slow shipping, good product   July 9, 2008
You'd think that with all the negative reviews about their shipping time that they would do something about it, but no. I waited seven days before they even shipped the product, then seven more for it to get here. Helmet arrived in good condition though.

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!


5 out of 5 stars super light and comfortable   September 21, 2007

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.
