Video: Nexx X.Wed 3 helmet review
Nexx call it the wildest adventure helmet. Find out what we think of it here

Great fit and really good features including additional tinted visor and pin lock in the box. Colours are great.
Not too heavy to wear and used it recently on a 500 mile road trip with no issues
I purchased this due to the X.WRL being discontinued which was an amazing helmet. Sadly the X.WED3 is not a patch on the X.WRL. The X.WED 3 is noisy not just from the wind, but also from creaks in the plastic and rattles in the lining from the over complicated cheek-pad removal system.
The helmet looks great, but the vents are quite floppy and may possibly become loose over time.
A huge selling point for me was the action camera mounts. I always ride with a camera mounted on my helmets, so to have a purpose built mount from the manufacturer I hoped would be amazing. Unfortunately, the mount is held in place with a shallow screw, 4 tiny plastic lugs and a nut that doesn't tighten and spins in it's recess.
I really wish Nexx would relaunch the very awesome X.WRL with some updates to improve it, I would much rather a quiet ADV helmet like that than a noisy/rattly one with an internal sun visor that is not needed when the helmet has a peak and comes with a free tinted visor.
The magnetic strap also causes the double D rings to stick to it stopping you being able to thread the strap properly which is annoying, not the end of the world, but with the other issues, it makes me feel my loyalty to the brand was misjudged
As a sidenote, I have fitted the comms unit which is great for listening to nav and music... fortunately the speakers are loud enough to almost drown out the rattles and noise from the helmet.
Comfort, little noise, fair weight
I really like the high spec and quality of this helmet and for a skip helmet it is really quite quiet I’m super impressed
This intercom is by far the best I have ever used fits the helmet seamlessly and is perfectly clear at all speeds. I definitely highly recommend this set.
