I got one of these for £50 from Rutland cycling after reading a favourable review in WMB.

Gotta say, I'm very, very impressed. Really well made and comfort and adjustments are spot on. Its very similar looks wise to the Giro Xen (which I tried out last year, but couldn't bring myself to pay the 100+ quid for). However, if my memory serves me, its slightly lower profile than the Xen, so less likely to make you look like Koopa out of mariokart if you aren't built like a brick outhouse.

Nowadays, all the top end lids are pushing over £100, its good to see someone bucking the trend and offering a top notch lid for considerably less.

I had a Xen, but only because I paid around £75 for it a couple of years ago. It was comfy, but rather warm.

It was rather knackered, so I've just replaced it with a Fox Flux, which I'm very impressed with. Build quality and all-round protection is on a par, if not better than the Xen and it's much cooler on my sweaty head.

I paid £69, because I wanted the 'Red Fade' red on black flamejob, but Leisure Lakes have a bluey/grey'ish one for £50.
