Product description of Giro Syntax MIPS helmet

Description summary

The GIRO Syntax MIPS® helmet blends relentless performance with long-range comfort in a slim, stylish design. Offering slightly deeper coverage, it’s a top choice for road and gravel adventures. Its tough In-Mold construction enhances durability without excess bulk. The highly-adjustable Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS® system lets you customize the fit for superior stability and cooling, while integrated MIPS® provides an added measure of protection from rotational forces, ensuring you ride with confidence and style

Long-Range Comfort Meets Relentless Performance And Style With The Syntax Mips®. It Has Slightly Deeper Coverage And A Slim Profile, Making It A Leading Choice For Road And Gravel Adventures. The Syntax Mips® Combines A Touch Of European Flair With Slightly Deeper Coverage And High-Performance Features, All Tucked Into A Very Slim Design.
The outer shell is molded from a tough polycarbonate thats fused permanently to the EPS foam liner using our In-Mold construction process to enhance durability and ventilation without excess bulk. And the fit is luxurious and secure, thanks to our highly-adjustable Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS® system that allows you to customize fit/feel for great stability and long-range comfort. Another benefit is integrated MIPS® which can provide an added measure of protection from rotational forces in the event of an angled impact.

Features:

Roc Loc® 5 Air Mips® Fit System:
- This Revolutionary Fit System Adds A New Dimension To Helmet Performance By Enhancing Cooling, As Well As Fit Comfort And Stability. Using A Patented Design That Suspends The Helmet Just Slightly Off The Top Of The Skull, Roc Loc® 5 Air Mips Allows Cool Airflow To Pass Directly Over Your Head, Further Enhancing The Performance Of Vents And Internal Channeling That Exhaust Heat Out Of The Helmet. Fit And Feel Adjustments Mimic The Roc Loc 5, Allowing You To Easily Custom Tune Fit Tension And Fore-Aft Tilt Of The Helmet In Seconds Using A Single Hand.

Integrated Mips®:
- All Giro Helmets Are Designed To Reduce As Much Energy As Possible While Meeting And Exceeding Stringent Safety Standards. The Goal Of Giro´S Integrated Mips-Equipped Helmets Is To Reduce Rotational Forces. Giro Believes That Helmets Equipped With This Technology Can Reduce The Amount Of Rotational Force That May Be Transferred To Rider´S Brain In Certain Impacts.

In-Mold Construction:
- In-Mold Construction Fuses A Tough Polycarbonate Outer Shell With The Helmet´S Impact-Absorbing Foam Liner. The Fusion Process Allows For Better Ventilation Systems, Making In-Mold Helmets Lighter And Cooler Than Traditional Helmets.
- Giro Helmets Are Developed Utilizing Our Proprietary Wind Tunnel Ventilation System. This Elaborate Design Combines Active Vents In The Helmet´S Shell With Exhaust Channels Inside The Helmet That Thrust Fresh, Cool Air Over And Around The Rider´S Head While Forcing Heat And Stale Air Out. It´S The Most Effective Cooling System Available, And A Difference You Can Feel Every Time You Ride.
