Giro, Cinder MIPS cycling helmet, black, Unisex

Product Information

For mountain biking, protection is the first and most important part so they will be heavier from the more material to cover more part of the head. In DH the design is even full to protect your facial bones as well when things go wrong yet the construction type is usually the same; polycarbonate shell with EPS foam on the inside. About Giro Cinder and Foray Depending on the brand their sizing can be different as well but usually extra small is below 20- inches, medium, from 21.75 inches, and large from 23.25 inches. To know this measurement, just use a flexible tape and measure your head circumference at about an inch above the eyebrow. Bike Helmet Type EPS foam can degrade and reduce its structural integrity. However, the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute Regardless of not having indistinguishable size vents from Giro Synthe, on most rides, Giro Cinder MIPS never felt stuffy, in any event, when wearing a helmet. With regards to long moves in high temperatures, the distinction can be felt though for a plenty of riders, this is anything but an everyday event. Padding is minimal, but effective. Worth noting is the adjustable meeting point of the straps under your ears. There are more and more helmets coming with that being a fixed, non-adjustable point, most of which are just fine, but it’s nice being able to dial it in exactly how you want.

With its cozy fit, great maintenance framework, and numerous colorways, combined with a lot of other advantages, Giro Cinder MIPS is definitely justified. Giro Synthe has become well known in consolidating streamlined features with compelling ventilation, as well – and Giro Cinder does not exactly have a similar edge. The Synthe MIPS is an awesome helmet, but most of us probably can't lay down 250 quid on a brain box without wincing, so the Cinder is a very viable alternative. Another great feature of the Cinder is its compact shape. This helmet is designed to be sleek and aerodynamic, which means less wind resistance and a more comfortable ride. Plus, the Cinder comes in a variety of colors, so you can find one that matches your style. Below the Fold ContentIn 2015 MEA Forensic reported on their extensive testing of used (but not crashed) bicycle helmets shows that the foam liners retain their performance over many years. Some of the helmets were as old as 26 years. They crash tested 675 helmets in their lab. Their analysis showed that there was no significant impact performance change with age.” Giro Cinder Fit The new Cinder MIPS from Giro shares a lot of technology and styling cues from its top end Synthe model, but considering it comes in at half the price it's certainly a helmet you should put on your 'must try' list. Especially when you take into account how comfortable the fit is.

On hot days, it vents well and allows ample air flow. On days cold enough to snow, a good base layer beanie was enough to prevent all that air flow from freezing my noggin. I’ve worn plenty of helmets that fit great one way or the other, but to be able to fit comfortably either with or without another lay underneath (and cram MIPS in there, too) is noteworthy. Both Giro Synthe and Giro Cinder cycling helmets are accessible with MIPS innovation as an extra defensive component. Fundamentally, it is a layer of plastic inside the helmet that decreases the rotational effect of accidents and head thumps. See also: Giro Synthe vs Aether. The cradles are oversized, too, which means no pressure points. They spread wide enough to fit a cycling cap or beanie, too. I tested a size medium, which is what I’ve worn in Giro for years and years, so the addition of MIPS hasn’t taken up too much room inside. The last part we want to mention is the comfort but while most people’s heads seem to fit well using the adjustment they have, in our opinion they are not the best too for some people may experience difficulties when getting the best comfort from them. For the ventilation they are adequately breezy but in comparison we do think Foray is much more comfortable and able to channel wind inside properly than Cinder. They are very cool to ride at higher speed but as we slow down, the head can gets warmer.Giro has grasped the new innovation in their helmet run. While you never really utilized the helmet or MIPS severely, you will feel supported realizing the innovation is actually there. So, here are a few reasons as to why you should go for Giro Cinder over Giro Synthe.

For the construction they use in-mold technique which means the foam and outer shell is fused together or not combined using glue which is the more traditional and less durable in comparison so you can expect these models to last for quite the time when treated properly. They are also sold in MIPS variant which adds a special layer inside to help the helmet moving or rotate a bit while keeping the fit inside stay snug to your head to reduce rotational impact. Giro Cinder and Foray Fit Now when you already decide the option, now is the time to see what the market has to offer since there are so many of them out there and if you are here then it means a road bike helmet is what you look for. In general road bike helmets are very affordable unless you go for the aerodynamic models. Road bike helmets are also offered by almost any bike helmets brands and you can choose from those you like better or what most people are going with. However, one of the other USPs of the Synthe has always been its ability to provide an aero lid that looks stylish - and the Cinder MIPS is anexcellent looking helmet with near universal appeal. decide if the Cinder is the right bike helmet for you.
