Nice upgrade | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| A nice upgrade from my 5 year old Giro Nine.9. Helmet fits well, and the ratchet in back helps; works just like a bike helmet. Slider tabs for vents don't inspire confidence that they'll hold up for many uses, but they haven't broken and the vents are nice. Good front vents help keep goggles clear. Optional/add on audio ear flaps are a little thicker than regular ones and don't get really loud. | |

I feel like this helmet is fairly light considering the durability of the hard shell. Its bomber, and fit my head nicely, this helmet seems to hold tighter to my head than some. There is really nice vent modulation. the vents are adjustable on each side and have three positions, Its nice to be able to fine tune your venting on those deep days. | |

Feels good, looks good | |

I just received this and I'm pumped. The chocolate check is a badass color. This helmet fits extremely well with the Scott Alias, Oakley A-Frame, and the Smith Anthem goggles, with no gap. The strap system seems secure. I think the brim will prevent putting goggles on the forehead. Venting is easy to operate with gloves on. | |

overall very impressed | |

i bought this helmet to compliment my smith googles more so than the giro omen i had previously. Not only does it fit with my googles perfectly it's overall great. Light, warm, very comfortable and it holds on tight. The vents also allow in an immense amount of air. A + | |

Nice Helmet | |

Got mine a few days ago and just love it. I used to have a red hi-fi helmet but i changed this year. The helmet is super comfy and holds onto my head great. I for sure recommend it. :) | |

Love it! | |

Very well designed, awsome style. The vents work perfect, open em when it's sunny, close it during blizzards. My smith phenom goggles fit it perfectly. This helmet is the best. It's pricey, but worth it. According to me. | |

| This helmet was very lightweight and the adjustable fit made it as snug as I wanted it. It kept me very warm and at times I forgot I was wearing a helmet. | |

Fits Great | |

| This helmet fits great. The ratchet in the back makes it very adjustable. There's not gap with the Smith Prodigy googles like I used to get with the Giro G10. | |

good helmet. great fit. only downside I've found is the brim getting in the way of pulling up goggles. | |

Cool piece but Smith's warranty sucks. | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I got this helmet last winter because I wanted a bucket cover that had a visor on it. Well the visor ended up breaking after only owning the helmet for two days. I tried to get Smith to replace it and they wouldn't. Smith wouldn't even let me buy a visor to repair the helmet myself. Smith's customer service was not professional and acted short and rude with me. A $180 helmet became a piece of ugly junk in two days. If you wear a helmet for a reason other than looking cool, don't go with a Smith visored helmet. | |
