Having used this for around a month now, I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on the pros and cons. The auto adjustment system works well, meaning the lid fits securely with little to no faff. The finish is high quality - although at the price point, I’d like a better chinstrap, perhaps akin to the Kask helmets. It’s nice and light, however despite having large vents - it does run pretty hot. The inner padding does a good job of stopping the sweat running into the face, but again, I’m surprised by the heat retention. My previous POC lid was chunkier, but did a far better job of dispersing heat. Looks wise: it nice and niche, good for those seeking something to differentiate from the sea of S-Works and Kask. I was fortunate to pick this up at around -35% rrp - which is about right, however I’m not sure if it competes with those above the £240 mark.
Product Details
HJC Ibex 2.0 Road Cycling Helmet
The HJC Ibex 2.0 is a light and comfortable road cycling helmet that has a wind tunnel-tested aero design that keeps ventilation high. There are a few unique innovations. Firstly, COOLPATH technology replaces internal padding, allowing the air to flow better around your head while also reducing weight. The automatically adjusting fit system - SELFIT - means that once the fit is set, there'll be no need for adjustments so when your head moves around the system will adjust when gaps form. The occipital cradle is adjustable, while the straps that meet under the chin have a split design for comfort around the ears.
EPS is bonded to polycarbonate in the In-Mold construction and there's internal reinforcement, both these features serving to keep you safe in the event of an impact. This helmet has 16 vents, so provides the perfect blend of ventilation and aerodynamic performance.

Reviews
This looks really good (not like a mushroom) and has a great fit. It's much more comfy than my old helmet which had a dial adjustment. I had tried a different brand of helmet prior to ordering this, but the Small was still too big for my head. This helmet in size small fits me well. I did still have quite a hot head in the very warm weather, but I think I'd be hot whatever helmet I had on. I'm very happy with my purchase.
