Ah cheers, makes sense.
Lazer Z1 sounds good but looks v similar profile/looks to the Synthe. Probably a marmite choice but I quite like the look of Oakley ARO5 which is supposedly has a narrow profile. Also down to £80 atm in Wiggle.
Anyone have experience on the Oakley? Creeping around on @ekudduke 's insta feed I think he has one?

Aro 5 -It's my favourite helmet (totally not saying this because I'm an Oakley athlete etc) prefer it much more than the aro 3. It's very aero. The only downside is that it gets pretty hot/lack of vents on the back. I had a wasp stuck in my helmet once and couldn't get it out, had to stop to free it. Ended up with a pretty sore head 😂. But I would definitely recommend the Aro 5, I have a few giro synthe and still choose the aro 5 all the time.

Tru facts, but only through UV exposure. So as long as it has been stored inside, you'll likely do more damage dropping it, chucking it in a bag in the 3 years left of it's 'official' lifetime than the environment.
This study says you'll be fine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26902784
I have found Scott and Lazer have been good for my large, longish head.
