Comments about Giro Xar Bike Helmet:

I just replaced my Fox Flux helmet which for years has served me well. I was hesitant to switch back to Giro specifically because of the fit. The Xar is by far the best mtn biking helmet out there now. The one finger adjustment in the back is perfect. Simple dial in adjustment. Plenty of vents for airflow. Durability (I already crashed) is sound. It looks great, feels good. Antimicrobacterial padding is a plus. Visor is adjustable. I look forward to many epic rides with this helmet and know my head is protected.

Comments about Giro Xar Bike Helmet:

After wearing an Atmos for the past five years, I decided to switch it up and migrate to the Mountain side of life.

This helmet has been a delight so far. The fit, as has long been my experience with Giro lids, is great, and the changes they've made in the RocLoc system seem to be good ones. The helmet is the most comfortable I've ever worn, the internal pads are robust and cushy, and I dig the wild color options.

I can't speak to the trail worthiness of the helmet, as I use it primarily for urban riding, bike commuting and road cycling. That said, it's been great for all of those endeavors, and I'm supremely happy with my purchase.
