I have used the Giro Aeon for a few years. I thought it was time to update to a more recent helmet, so I tried the Kask Mojito and the Giro Synthe MIPS, the latter being the newest top-of-the-line from Giro. Both were at a huge discount after Thanksgiving so it was a good occasion.
- Kask Mojito fits nice, but the leather chin strap lacks flexibiliry. Also people mention that this helmet makes them sweat a lot, and I tend to sweat a lot, so this was a negative point
- Giro Synthe MIPS fits nice, and it has the latest technology.
HOWEVER both newer models weigh 60g more than the Giro Aeon (size L). My Giro Aeon is 250g, both Kask Mojito and Giro Synthe MIPS weigh 310g. This is 'only' 60g, but it is more than 20% heavier, and this makes a HUGE difference. It makes me notice the helmet much more on my head. So latest technology or not, I'm going to stay with the Giro Aeon for the time being.
I use this helmet for both road and mtb.... the last Giro I owned probably saved my life in a 25 mph road bike crash. Helmet was badly damaged but saved me from serious head injury. I place my trust in Giro helmets.
Like the way it fits and feels on a ride.
I get enough ventilation (most of the time) to prevent sweat from going into my eyes.
I have a ridge on the top of my head so finding a helmet is very difficult and this helmet fits great! It is also the coolest helmet I've ever had too. On those long hot summer days you can really feel the wind blowing through your hair.
Love it!!
I use this one everyday for my commute ....like it alot
I am very pleased with this helmet. It is very light weight and the ventilation works very well. While a bit expensive, I am very pleased. The adjustment system is easy to use and I was able to get a perfect fit.
Love my new helmet, especially the Roc Loc 5 retention. Very easy adjustment and it stays in place.
Very light comfortable and great adjustability and excellent finish you can't go wrong having this helmet.
Really nice fit
love the rear strap adjuster
nice and cool while riding
I absolutely love this helmet. It fits great, looks great and feels great. Highly recommended.
The Giro Aeon is excellent! It is lightweight, comfortable, easily adjustable, and has excellent ventilation. Purchasing it at a special price made it a real bargain!
Nice helmet. Light weight. But the lightness is replaced with the size. It looked like I had a gigantic head. I ended up sending it back. But, it is a nice helmet. I would say true to size. But, I got a medium and it fit, but really should have had a large. I have a 7 18 head size.
So lightweight, you forget its on your head at all. Straps are also very soft and lightweight.
excellent venting for a cool head on these hot summer days. Light too so a really fine helmet.
Very nice helmet. Lightweight and comfortable. Padding and adjustment straps are very good. Very happy with the lookstyle as well.
Giro one best helmet i ever use compare the product. I. Really like it.
I've been using Giro hemlets for years and this Aeon is great. It is super light and that excellent Giro look.
This helmet is half the weight of the one I've been using for years. Miss my little visor, though. Also, would like softer straps. Great buy on sale. Pretty too. I use it for all road riding, anywhere from 25 to 100 miles a day.
