Buckle up.

Giro's Xar Helmet represents the best blend of value, protection, and ventilation for a mountain bike helmet. It's a bit more substantial than, say, the road-specific Atmos II, but that's because its job is different. It's made to provide more coverage to the sides and back of your head while also resisting the every, branch-bumping nature of trail riding. A lightweight, barely-there road helmet is designed to protect against a single, serious impact — like an airbag. The Xar is more like the constant support of a seatbelt.


The Xar begins life as a roll cage made from DuPont Nylon, which provides a structural skeleton for the impact-absorbing EPS foam body. This keeps the helmet from shattering under impact. The In-Mold construction process fuses the EPS layer to the outer, polycarbonate one to reinforce the helmet — especially the spots around the vents and ribs. It makes them lighter, more durable, and better ventilated than helmets with shells that are glued to the liner.


The Xar's 17 Wind Tunnel vents and internal channeling shuttle air across your head while pulling heat up, up, and away. The P.O.V. visor increases comfort in a different way, by deflecting the sun, rain, and the odd twig or errant pebble kicked up by your riding buddies. The visor's internal clutch system allows for 15 degrees of vertical adjustment achieved by a very precise and technical quick whack of the hand. Its removal is just as easy and tool-free. The Roc Loc 5 fit system uses a ratcheting dial to adjust the helmet's fit.
