Comfortable Fit System
Customers have generally positive feedback about the comfortable fit system of the Giro Syntax MIPS Adult Road Cycling Helmet. They appreciate its ability to provide a secure and customized fit, as well as its ventilation and lightweight design.

Protective Design

Highlights
Quality
Like top of the line helmets a decade back, this helmet is light, provides air flow, and is easy to forget it is on while riding.
The ventilation is great and the padding is comfortable.
Yesterday, october 12th, i fell and knock my head hard, had a concussion and can’t remember anything.
I recently had a bad crash and smacked my shoulder, leg, elbow, and head against pavement extremely hard.
Price
Probably so but for a few grams and an additional hundred or so not worth the price.
Called the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement at no cost.
Even at full price this would be a great price for the average recreational rider.
So while nice to have, not really worth the extra price imo).
Packaging/appearance
At first i was hesitant about ordering the white/silver color, but it looks great in person.
Maybe i just received a slightly defective one
Competitiveness
So i can’t compare this helmet to any other brand.
I had a perfect fit in less than 10 minutes, compared to struggling for a solid 30-40 minutes with the cannondale helmet to no avail.
Fit and finish is as described and price is much less than similar models by other brands.
Refer to pictures for comparison with the giro agilis.

I had an older giro helmet for more than 10 years and decided to replace it since the padding had worn out and it had gotten uncomfortable to wear
