Reviews over the

Giro Cinder MIPS

Great helmet that is easy to adjust. In addition, the helmet is also a beauty to look at.

Pros & Cons

Completely matches expectation

Pros & Cons

I can't mention MIPS as a minus point, but I'm not convinced by the system. It may not "harm", but wrschnlk not "benefit" either, ttz does not really offer any added value in my opinion.

Pros & Cons

Het is een fijne helm om te dragen, de helm is niet een van de lichtste maar geeft voldoende bescherming bij een val.

Pros & Cons

An excellent helmet

Pros & Cons

Am not a fan of MIPS... Makes the helmet especially heavier, and significantly reduces wearing comfort... Am also not convinced of the benefits of MIPS (at least not for leisure athletes who take fewer risks anyway)... But nowadays you can hardly find quality helmets "without"

Pros & Cons

After 7 years, it was time to replace my 'old helmet' (a 'd alto) for a fresh one. Tyres were starting to fray and pads inside were running out. Several sites told me that the shell quality would also deteriorate with time. So in search of a fresh one. Reading a lot of tests and reviews made me end up with this helmet. The helmet has a very nice design. Compared to my old helmet, it is much larger, especially in width. Yet it is very lightweight. The fit is very nice and even after riding for several hours, the helmet is still comfortable. Actually, you don't notice that you have it on. Above 35 km per hour, the helmet starts to whistle a bit in wind from the front. Quite irritating. Not yet discovered what the cause and thus the solution is.

Pros & Cons

I chose this helmet n.a.v. fit and MIPS. the helmet has a nice matt (black) finish. when wearing the helmet, I personally do not experience any irritation and the helmet feels very natural.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Fits well and looks good - maybe not quite as nicely finished or as well vented as my old Kask Mojito, but still a V nice helmet.

All round good fit and safe feel but chin strap not the easiest to get on with, tight around the gullet but may be my shaped head/face!

good ventilation,light ,good secure fit with the strap fit adjuster its a bit bigger than I expected,a bit of a large mushroom shape helmet

Good looking helmet with great adjustment - the straps can be adjusted to tilit the helmet back or forwards and the rear cradle raises or lowers to cup the rear of your head when the dial snugs it up. Very comfortable when time is taken to adjust it to suit. Spare pads are available. The straps do seem a little stiff, but I am sure that they'll soften in use. MIPS is supposed to make my head a bit safer but hope I never have to test that claim. Excellent price from Mantel. Would buy again.

Pros & Cons

i liked the way my old giro savant fitted so i thought i would stick with giro and the cinder seemed to fit the bill nicely for colour, looks and my price point and i was not disappointed. the roc loc 5 is nice to adjust and fine tune fit, weather mips works or not i don't know but it can't heart. dose look a bit mushroomie but i think most helmets do. mantel were great good price, packed well and fast delivery

Pros & Cons

I have bought the fleuro yellow version to replace an old Atmos which had server me well for the last few years. This Cinder fits so much better than I expected and the colour helps me be seen better. The only downside is that it does have the mushroom effect, whether this is due to the mips cage or if it is the helmet itself. In saying that I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Pros & Cons

First impressions are good, I bought a Giro due to the fit. Comfortable and appears to be good quality. This helmet seems to be less well ventilated than my previous one - Specialized Prevail. Overall - very pleased

Pros & Cons

This feels great on the head. It is much lighter than my old lid, with much better vision when in the drops. The tightener is easy to use. My single concern, as I am near the upper limit for the size I bought, is how to fit a headband or balaclava under it, but trying a headband in the house suggests it will not be too much of a problem with a thin material.
