@tenbsmith: It seems like that is the reason a lot of people went with the Flux. Where there is a need…it needs to be filled. I think more companies are going to jump on this (like Giro did) to provide solutions to recreational and harder riders.

No cRASh, those are the ladies whistling at your codpiece!

I agree with 198 on the size thing. That’s a little silly. Still, I have a S/M and it may even be roomier than I need.

The construction on the helmet really is top notch. I have/had a Giro E2 and a Bell X-Ray. The strap mounting and adjustment is far and away better on the Flux.

I also don’t have any clue why other manufacturers don’t recognize that pads get skanky, worn, thrashed, etc. Their lifespan is less than that of a helmet unless you take a header.

Aww cRASH, you just go too fast.

Part of the reason I got a Giro Hex was additional coverage, so I hear y’all on that.

I’ve had this helmet for over a year now. Main purchase point was also additional coverage. Also like that you get a duplicate set of replacement pads. Only negative I’ve noticed is that there is a whistling at higher speeds.
