Product Description
The Giro Hex Mountain biking helmet features rugged style, big performance and impressive value. Features the new Roc Loc 5 fit system. After more than ten years of refinement, this ground-breaking fit system provides an entirely unique use experience with an unmatched level of comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. With Roc Loc 5, you can easily dial-in both fit tension and adjust vertical position with a single hand. Just twist the dial for a tighter feel on tough terrain, then back it off a notch and relax across the flats or a warm climb. Even with these remarkable features, Roc Loc 5 is still 40-percent lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4. Roc Loc 5 systems is: 1) Micro Dial. The heart of the Roc Loc 5 is this ratcheting, micro-adjusting dial. A simple, two-finger twist of the Micro Dial opens or closes the retention system and each click is audible. 2) Three-Position Vertical Fit - It's never been easier to change vertical positions and fine-tune fit. We incorporated a three-position bracket that features 15-millimeters of precise up/down movement. Like the Micro Dial, this system can be adjusted without removing the helmet. 3) Carefully crafted ergonomic arms are shaped to be as comfortable as possible, yet work flawlessly with Giro eyewear (what we call Super Fit engineering). 4) Dual Pods - These two panels are designed to firmly grasp the back of your head while comfortably cradling the occipital lobe. Strap management - with Roc Loc 5, your helmet straps are woven through the fit system, so they are always in the perfect position. Complex Internal Design - Dozens of small parts work together seamlessly to provide exceptionally user-friendly adjustment. Minimal and Light, yet Strong - Although this fit system is 40% lighter than its predecessor, it's much stronger. In testing, Roc Loc 5 performs flawlessly, even after 6,600 cycles (equivalent to 3 years of riding with 3 round trips per day).

Pros:
Air ventilation is truly excellent, fit is snug and comfortable, feels very light, the visor does not chatter in the wind, the helmet's design is fairly stylish.
Cons:
The straps often need to be pushed away from the back of my ears, the rubber part of "overmolded arm" on the RocLoc system inside the helmet interferes with the back tips of my glasses.
The helmet is used mainly for my daily commute. The RocLoc system makes the helmet fit well but at the expense of not being able to wear sunglasses comfortably. I wanted to try the Giro brand after I wore out my excellent Bell X-Ray helmet. When this Giro Hex wears out I will replace it with a new Bell X-Ray.

This helmet is excellent. I was using a Pro-Tec BMX/Skate helmet, which is super safe, but has no ventilation. I would go on 15+ mile cross country rides and get gnarly headaches afterwards from the heat. This would happen even when the air temperature was reasonable. I would keep an extra water bottle with me just to pour on my head to cool down. The Hex has completely solved this problem. It's also pretty comfortable. The only complaint I have (and it's a small one), is that the straps are a little funky at first. I just had to get it adjusted right and wear it a few times, now they're not a bother. I can't say anything for safety since I haven't (and hopefully never will) tested that function of the helmet. This is my go to helmet for mountain or road riding. I guess it's not as aerodynamic as a "road helmet," so it's a little noisier and it's probably not hip. But it works for me. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good helmet at a decent price. I went with the weird color one, since it was even cheaper.

Been a fan of Giro helmets for awhile. Have used multiple Giro helmets for my road cycling and wanted a dedicated helmet for mountain biking. With the new Roc Loc 5 system offered on this helmet I jumped at it and am very pleased with the results. Roc Loc 5 is a huge improvement over Roc Loc 4 and I feel its the best strap system available today. Helmet size Medium fits great for my head. Plenty of ventilation. Great price for a Giro quality helmet.
