POC Synapsis 2.0 Helmet

Sweet Look but tricky fit

By Ranked #1392 - Helmets December 29, 2008

My awesome wife got this helmet for me after an offseason of research and debating. The helmet looks sweet, especially with the POC lobe googles but the fit is tricky. I have a 59.5 cm head circumference but the XL (59-60cm) had pressure points. I think this helmet is a better fit for oval or maybe roval shaped heads. If you have a full, round melon like mine you won't be happy with the discomfort.
I'll also note that this helmet has much less padding than some of the other brands. This probably helps with the venting but not with comfort.
Wish it fit!
