Ok I busted my helmet yesterday. So know I should get a new one. Question is which one.
The one I have busted is a giro xen black. I also have a giro xen white and pink that I only use for commuting.
So the question is should I buy a new XC helmet, and have one for riding and one for commuting, or should I buy a full face helmet for shuttle days in Italy and so I can do the enduro...?
Full face is very tempting, LBS have some on sales.

Can't you get a waranty on the giro then flog the replacement?

As for choice - no idea!

As Al says - send the borked one back to Giro for a half-price replacement, then decide....

Personally, I hate putting on a sweaty helmet to go riding in the evening, so keep a separate one for commuting.

diz sorry I am a LBS person :D.
Al I doubt I'll have a warranty on helmet to to a pilot error 😉
Plus the helmet is more than 3 years old.
I think I'll get myself tempted by the Dainese on sale 129 instead of 205 😀
Then I can always buy a skyline for commuting.
