Giro Synthe MIPS II Helmet

An icon made even better.

The Synthe Mips II is an icon, updated to be lighter and more comfortable than ever before. The compact design slips through the air with ease, yet offers impressive cooling power in a light-yet-durable design that's been a rider favorite for years now. It's packed with our best features, including the Roc Loc 5 Air Mips fit system with 2-way fit tuning and Integrated Mips (the Multi-directional Impact Protection System), the market-leading system designed to redirect rotational forces away from the brain and provide more protection in certain impacts.

INTEGRATED MIPS® BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM

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 while enhancing fit and comfort by combining the Mips slip plane with the helmet's adjustable fit system. 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. Learn more about Mips in the video above.

ROLL CAGE REINFORCEMENT

Roll Cage is a light-yet-tough web of reinforcement invisibly molded inside a helmet's EPS foam liner. It helps the helmet to hold together under impact, and provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you'll never notice...unless you need it.

WIND TUNNEL VENTILATION

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.

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 Mips, allowing you to easily custom tune fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand.

IONIC+ ® PADDING

Pure Silver is the secret ingredient that gives IONIC+ ® the power to provide natural, permanent odor protection to keep your helmet feeling fresh.
