Giro
Synthe MIPS Helmet

I had been using a Savant MIPS, upgraded to the Synthe MIPS when there was a sale, and love it. It's so comfortable I hardly even think about it while riding, other than occasionally adjusting the micro adjuster, which I can do on the bike. The micro adjuster is extremely handy to compensate for the change when I put a skullcap on or off in the winter. I also like that the height of the rear band mount is adjustable, easy to get the fit snug but not tight. The sunglasses dock seems mainly useful for pros (who have sunglasses sponsors) or folks who wear cheap sunglasses. Me, I need glasses to see where I'm going so (a) I'm not going to take them off while riding and (b) even if I did, they are Transitions Progressive lenses, which are FAR too expensive to risk leaving perched on the helmet where they might fall to the ground if I forgot they were there when I removed my helmet. And if they fell off and broke, finding my way home would be a problem! So I just keep my glasses on and fasten the helmet straps over them.

I've been using Giro helmets since the first model came out with the hairnet cover. At least two mountain bike helmets, a couple of Atmos, and now the Synthes followed.

I bought my first Synthe MIPS because it was so damn comfortable finally a helmet that fits!

I bought my second Synthe MIPS because when I crashed the first one very hard I had never felt a softer landing from a helmet (and Ive broken 4-5 over the years.)

Added plus I like the color (matte whitesilver) and I got it on sale. A whole-hearted recommendation.

I am sold on MIPS after crashing and seeing how the impact force was distributed. Broke the helmet and didn't feel the impact as much as I had expected. I immediately replaced the helmet with a new Synthe MIPS. My prior helmet was a Giro Pro-light which was not as heavy as the Synthe, but I consider this a fair trade-off, though I do miss the lighter helmet.

This is a great light helmet with excellent ventilation and improved safety utilizing the MIPS system. This is my everyday helmet and I recently wore it while racing at the National Senior Games in Birmingham, AL finishing on the podium twice.

It just looks fast! I love this helmet. I inherited my mothers large head so it looks like a normal sized one when I wear it. Excellent styling and stoked about MIPS.

This is definitely the best helmet I have owned. Very comfortable and nice looking.

I wore two Giro Savant helmets over the last 4 years but recently decided to upgrade to the Synthe. I chose the Synthe because it seemed to have a cool, sleek, more modern feel to it, and the color choices were excellent to boot. After riding with this helmet daily for a few months now, I can say for certain that its awesomehowever, Im not sure Id purchase a helmet online again without trying it on in person since this helmet feels just slightly smaller than my old Savant did, even after adjusting both the rear dial and chin straps. That said, Id still recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a higher quality upgrade.

I have been using Giro helmets for almost 20 years including the Pnuemo, Atmos, Ionos, Aeon and now the Synthe MIPS. The Synthe is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. It is not as light as the Aeon but because of the fit and the excellent ventilation it feels as light. I ride 200 miles a week in the Phoenix Az area and really appreciate the fit and ventilation of the Synthe.

I have not worn it on the bike yet, but I have tried it on and it fits great like all of my previous Giro helmets.

The design is awesome and better yet, customer service was top notch. Fast shipping and great prices.

My new Synthe replaced an older Giro helmet. About my fourth ride with it it was put to the test! I got hit by a school bus that was pulling out into the street (without noticing me). Though my head struck the pavement it did not sustain injury, though ribs and collar bone sustained some factures.

On the second ride after purchasing the Giro Synthe MIPS Helmet I had my first bad bike accident after riding for 30 years. I have a fractured humerus, lots of bumps and bruises but coming out with a few dents in my helmet knowing that I hit my head I had no head injuries or head ache. Giro thanks for building this miracle!!

I use this for road cycling and its superb. Being that I have a larger head (thanks mom) it doesnt look like a massive dome on my head. The fit is perfect and I don't even notice it's on my head. Love it!

Multiple color options. I chose blackorange for good visibility and still looks great. Also weight is light which is obviously good!

Excellent fit, comfort and cooling

Excellent comfort and safety! Helmet saved my head in a crash in June this year. I ended up with 5 broken ribs, punctured lung, and shattered hip. No head damage as helmet absorbed impact . I got the new mips version of the synthe but do not plan on any more crash testing!

every ride

I use it almost every day. It is light, comfortable and cool. On cool days I wear a head cover under the helmet but on warm days I just use the helmet without head cover and it provides a cool ride

I find this to be a very comfortable and light helmet, good ventilation as well.

I use the Giro Synthe Daily. Looks good, breaths very well, total comfort, light weight, all good.

Yes for sure, I recommend the Synthe.
