I always buy Giro bike helmets because they fit well. The Syntax MIPS model sits lower on my head and feels more secure. The MIPS feature could be the reason for this. The straps hold the helmet firmly on my head.
Review by Jim Shannon
The 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.

The sales people were great to work with. Their recommendations were great, which made me purchase the helmet. I love it and it fits perfectly.

I ordered this originally from Amazon, since I'm a prime member. They sent me the wrong helmet and the wrong size. I had only only shopped with Biketiresdirect once before. Great product, great price, size and model were correct, so that's a plus. Shipping was pretty quick, too. Will definitely be shopping in the future. It's better to deal with someone who specializes in the industry then with someone who dabbles.

I ride frequently and this helmet has saved my head several times!

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.

The price was right. The fit is perfect for me (I'm a Giro and Bell guy). And I didn't have a blue one.

Im a big fan of the styling of Giros helmets, and this mode in particular fits well, is lightweight, and looks good. My only issue is that I always seem to break the flimsy plastic parts of the Roc Loc system within a couple months.

The inner frame of the white helmet is bright white, so you see bright white stripes on your head through the holes. Obviously not the most important feature, but it looks truly bizarre against any hair that isn't white.

Lightweight, good airflow, and a low profile. Pretty much a triple threat. MIPS protection which should be mandatory at this point. If you haven't looked into MIPS, I'll sum it all up for you do yourself a favor and throw out your old helmet and buy one with MIPS. One of the best helmets on the market, especially for the price.

I've worn several Giro helmets over the years, and found them easy to adjust and comfortable to wear. Safety is a concern, and the MIPS feature is an important addition for me. Fortunately, I haven't had to test whether the helmet will protect me from serious head injuries, but the reputation of Giro for a quality product does make me comfortable trusting that the helmet will protect me.

Its the first helmet that actually fits my large head. Strap secures the helmet very well.

I wasn't sure about changing from my previous Giro helmet but had no choice since it was discontinued. Im happy with the Syntax MIPS.
Review by Old Peddler
Plenty of venting...just a little on the heavy side...I guess I got what I paid for...If I was lucky. Well built and good fitting...Sturdy!

This is my second Syntax helmet. The first got scuffed in an accident. It was good enough that I chose to get another!
