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.

Good to hear, thanks! I've read about the overheating, does concern me but the pro's sound like they outweigh the cons.
Seems to have mixed views on the profile. Some people saying it's slim from the front but others saying it's "mushroomy". How does it compare with the Synthe?

Fancy selling me a Synthe? :)

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?
