Review by AnonymousJust what I was looking for.by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastChicago, IL1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The helmet is exactly what I was looking for to replace my many years old Bell Helmet. I wanted one that is light, cool, fits well, has the latest safety technology, and wasn't too expensive. I was not concerned with the make or model or colors, although I like the colors on this one and the it's a Giro. I would buy this again and would recommend it. The only thing I might change is getting a helmet with a visor to shade the sun, but that's personal preference.

Review by AnonymousGreat helmet!by AnonymousFort Lauderdale 4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.I really loved this helmet from day one. It was super light weight, comfortable, perfect fit on my very small head, and it looked great too! Unfortunately, today I can write a full review... This helmet literally saved my head/life. I fell of my bike around 16 mi/hr directly on to my left shoulder and my head hit the ground pretty hard as I slid on the road. Not a scratch or bruise on my head, the helmet held up really well, minimal damage to the foam on the inside. I�m giving it 5 stars because it performed really well when I needed it, and the price is good too. The ONE reason I am considering buying a different model is because I can�t fit my sunglasses on it.

Review by pidginbilMIPS. Affordable. Light. Cool. Trusted.by pidginbilCycling EnthusiastSF Bay Area5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.I've worn Giro Helmets since the 80's. Thankfully my accidents never included a head impact. We'll leave it to others to comment on head protection. But Giro has done a good job on the other important features over the years. Things like airflow, weight, visibility, MIPS technology, adjustability, and strap comfort. So I remain loyal. My one alert to everyone is verify size. I'm a larger guy (200lbs) with a regular size head (59cm) that is on the cusp between medium and large. It took a try on to verify the right size was (surprisingly) medium.

Review by OaklandMarkGood helmet, ventialtion a bit lackingby OaklandMarkCycling EnthusiastOakland, CAI'm a road rider, and needed to replace my aging Giro. Not wanting to spend a fortune, I picked this one. As expected, the fit was perfect, as I know from experience that Giro helmets fit me extremely well. My head measures right in the middle of M range, and I can pretty much wear the thing straight out of the box.
My only quibble was that after a couple of rides I felt the ventilation was really lacking. If you're riding for a few hours in hot weather, you really don't want your head to roast any more than necessary, and mine was.
I ended up giving the helmet to my son, to his delight, and ordering the Aether, on sale. It also fit perfectly, AND had good ventilation.
If you're just tooling around, the Syntax is a great helmet. But if you're out for a ride of a few hours, you might want to look at something with better vents.

Review by bicycletimeFits great, comfortable, easy to adjustby bicycletimeCycling EnthusiastOakland, CA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I needed a new helmet and I went with this Giro helmet that is a "mid-price" helmet. It is very comfortable, has an easy adjuster on the back of the helmet (great for days when you have a hat or skull cap), and has a lot of ventilation. I got white for summer riding. Great value at this price.

Review by Fitness RiderExcellent product and customer service.by Fitness RiderCasual CyclistGrand Rapids, MI0 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I purchased the Giro Syntax MIPS Helmet to replace an old, out-dated, Bill City helmet. The Giro Syntax MIPS Helmet appears to be a quality product. I ride a fitness bike on city streets and bike paths. It perfectly fits my purpose. It also perfectly fits my head.

Review by gfparsonsGreat Fit Out of the Boxby gfparsonsCycling EnthusiastSanta Fe1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Recently returned a Bell helmet due to a break in the plastic "occipital cradle" ,which generally appears more fragile in the newer helmets. Giro has been my go-to in the past and they didn't disappoint with the Syntax MIPS helmet. Great fit out of the box and the High vis yellow/black color scheme is great and matches my flat black Cannondale. Lots of vents and an easy attach for a Topeak helmet light.

Review by Jim ShannonSolid Nice Fitby Jim ShannonCycling EnthusiastKnoxville, TNThe helmet feels solid and well made. Too to tell how well the straps attachments fair. The buckle seems a bit small compared to the last Giro I have. Squeezing the release part goes better with the left hand than the right do to the direction of the release points.

Review by Joyce I forget it�s even on my head helmet. by Joyce Cycling EnthusiastWatsonville California Super comfortable helmet as I�m on my 4th one. It�s a great fit without looking bulky as some helmets do. It�s easy to twist the back to tighten it even going down the road. It�s got the Euro flair that I really like and I�ve received many compliments! I ride every day of the week. I highly recommend the Giro Syntex helmet.
