Fox Flux Helmet ?
Anyone use these? I've read very good reviews and they look cool.

Mine fits well, and it has already done it's job well in a otb. The visor sucks though, I actually lost mine when it fell off while riding.

It all depends on how well it fits your head. Fits mine pretty well, and I like it. Has some rear coverage too, which is nice. It's not particularly light or well ventilated if either of those are important to you though.

Yes. As stated earlier, the extra rear coverage is nice. Adjustments are on par with offerings from Bell or Giro.
A great helmet if it fits your noggin.

They do look cool, but that spoiler thing on the back is useless, and it begins to look dorky after the novelty wears off. There's a newer model with a reduced-size spoiler and a slightly different fit. I forget the name of the new model, but it's a better fit for my elongated head than the Flux. As always, check the fit before you buy.

FWIW, I wish I had bought the Striker when I had it in my hands this spring. Instead I cheaped out and have been riding all summer with a skanky, several-season-old helmet that's been allowing too much sweat to run down into my eyes while riding. I really need a fresh helmet.

I've had a Flux for a few years and consider it very comfortable but as others have written, it's best to try it on.

Yes try it on is right, I ended up coming home with a Giro Phase (Med) fits perfect and the color is cool. Even the other Giro modles fit different and other brands was to small in medium and looked like I was wearing a mushroom in the large size even though it fit nice.. I'm very happy what I got..
Deffenetly don't buy online unless you have tried it on at a lbs.
