Review on Optimized Giro Synthe Road Cycling Helmet for Adults by Paul Gravely

Very light, fits perfectly so if you want some space to put on and breathe very well. One star off for the padding or, more importantly, the minimalist approach to this helmet. I know the weight, weight, weight. I don't race, so I'm not crazy about weight. It really helps, although a little comfort is still good. Added padding on the inside of the crown, added padding on the strap, and replaced the padding on the front headband with a thicker one. To do this, they dismantled the old bat helmet. It's really nice now. Not fully sold is the internal strap system that keeps it on the head, but it's so light I haven't noticed any issues. Only driven a few 50+ miles so far and bought for the summer heat. I'm not a racing driver and mostly ride long tours. I have it on sale from the outback for $125, that helps too. If I had paid full price I could have returned. I have an old LAS helmet that fits like a glove. In comparison, a little heavier and a little warmer. Hence the purchase of a super light, airy summer topper.
