Designed with a take-it-to-the-limit ethos and the needs of the action-sport junky in mind--the Flux MTB Helmet from Fox offers the a combination of protection, ventilation, and fit ideal for hardcore trail riding.
Strategically Engineered Ventilation and Aerodynamics: Thanks to a deeper rear profile EPS shell, the Flux provides more comprehensive coverage than a traditional XC helmet--offering invaluable protection for more skull area in the inevitable event of a crash. The amped up coverage is perfectly augmented with 20 strategically placed ventilation ports that promote airflow and circulation, keeping your head cool during the also inevitable long climbs. The helmet's visor and spoiler are not only designed to look cool--they also serve critical venting and air flow functions. As air travels over the helmet, the visor helps channel airflow through the vents, keeping your head cool. The spoiler, a nod to the fin aesthetic in Motocross helmet design, channels the discharge air flow to keep you streamlined and fast.
Lightweight Design and Fit with Greater Structural Integrity: The Flux Helmet provides a better more secure fit with great integrity and durability for high-action riders thanks to In Mold Design technology, the Detox Retention System, and Inset Chin Straps. In-molding technology molds the outer shell onto the EPS foam, protecting the EPS from dings and dents for a longer lasting helmet, and adding to the structural integrity of the helmet with a molded wrap fit. In addition, the in molding process reduces the overall helmet weight by eliminating excess and fallible tape and glue. The dual Detox ratchet retention system secures the Flux helmet comfortably in place for the best possible fit. The Inset Chin Straps are anchored directly into the EPS shell offer improved roll-off strength, and reduced overall bulk and weight.
Whether you're a weekend warrior, suburban commute warrior, or a serious downhill crusader, the Flux Helmet delivers the comfortable protection, superior fit, and ventilation you need to ride without inhibition.

This is my 4th what I would consider "Medium/High-end" Mountain Bike Helmet. It is by far my favorite, probably its best quality is how much airflow this thing has, the gaps for the air to travel through are huge compared to other helmets I've owned so your head stays substantially cooler. This is a big plus especially when you live in the desert. The design is very eye catching, I opted for the "Black Camo" which is kind of reminiscent of the "Blue Tiger" from Modern Warfare.
The helmet also comes with another complete set of foam pads to replace the current ones when they are in need of a wash. The back adjuster piece is made of plastic/nylon and feels very sturdy and while it doesn't have a typical ratchet wheel style adjustment piece, it uses a method that requires both hands as you squeeze the helmet straps in the back to fit your head. To some this might be a con because you can't adjust it with one hand, while I suppose this isn't enough to dock a star it should be noted. The chin straps and the buckle itself are very comfy and feel very sturdy as well, it also has a little rubber band to tuck away excess strap.
The other thing to note is that the front bill is held on by two stubs on either side and will come off with relatively little force so if you run through some brush, it pays to check your helm to see if the bill is still there. While I haven't had to, you could probably apply some shoe glue or super glue to the studs where it sits if you wanted to make it more stable. Because of the rather flimsy bill and unorthodox tightening system, I ultimately decided to dock it one star.
I have yet to be in a real crash with this thing besides hitting a few branches so I can't really comment on the durability fully but you are suppose to replace your helm after a wreck involving your head anyways, but it has been smooth sailing so far.
In summary, if your looking for a good looking but functional helmet, I would very strongly recommend the flux

The Fox Flux is the absolute best helmet I have ever owned. It is extremely comfortable temperature wise from all the vents, and physically because of the excellent shape and tightening system. The straps and buckling system are no-nonsense and quickly adjust without even having to remove the helmet. When I do break this one from a fall, I will quickly turn around and buy another one.

Love this helmet. Fits my massive noggin easy, and the visor is the perfect size to shade your eyes, but not block your view. Light, vents great, and looks awesome!

Light and Cool
I've worn the helmet around 6 times so far on 30 minute trips. It's very light so you don't feel it on your air and it's also very airy. Read more
