Giro synthe size large question
Quote | Reply
I read someone comments that the new Giro synthe size large has a much bigger profile than medium. Thus not recommended.

Does anyone has seen it would like to make a comment/suggestion?
I do have a 61cmish Head....

I was sort of borderline between sizes as my head measure 59cm and medium is 55-59, so I tried the medium and the large in the store. Medium fit just fine, and large was waaaay too big for me. I can't remember for sure bit I think even in the tightest setting with the rocloc adjustment wheel in the back it was still too loose. I usually wear a cap when riding (this helmet vents well!) so that even adds to the circumference and there's really no problem with the medium. Even though my head is a bit smaller than yours I hope this helps a bit.

By being a bigger profile and not recommended do you mean that it's less aero or something? Not quite sure why else the profile would matter so much.

Thanks. And think big profile creates a mushroom head.

Ah yes that makes sense. Well to a certain extent they all look like that, but I'd imagine the larger size exacerbates that.

I have one. It fits me just as perfectly as my other Giro size-large helmets and looks fine.
