Hi

Just after a bit of advice of XC lid's, iv currently got a full face for my downhill bike but i don't think this will be suitable for XC... guessing its going to be to hot and make me look silly.

Am i best of buying one these half and half helmets which look like a mix between full face and pisspot style? if so any recommendations

Cheers

Tom

Whats your budget?

Do you mean a Enduro lid?

A lot to do with personal preference and fit.

Urge/Giro/bell all get great reviews, i use a On-one Enduro as it fits my noggin perfectly and is great value.

I have a bell stoker and find it excellent.
All about how they fit your head at the end of the day
