Smith Optics Adult Snowmobile Helmet Review

husband did not fit. We ordered size XL. His head size is 63 inches and he should be up to 67 inches tall. It was too tight at the top of the head. It doesn't have dial adjustment, but it does have strap adjustment. It hit him in the back of the head. Finally returned it. The helmet looked like it was of great quality, it just didn't fit him at all. I recommend trying it on in store before ordering online to see if it suits you. The seller's customer service was excellent.

I have a shaved head, 24" tall, right in the middle of the 59-63 cm range for the large. After wearing this helmet for just 5 minutes I had a dull headache; 10 minutes later my head was screaming - this helmet is MUCH smaller. Other than a small piece of stubborn elastic at the back of the liner, there's no way to adjust the fit, padding, etc. There doesn't seem to be a way to swap L for XL and thanks to dynamic pricing I'm now paying 25% extra for XL because L doesn't match description? No…

A few issues - the clip on the back doesn't fit all goggles, oddly it was too big for my forged goggles so I had to put it in place them on a small offset from the center. Headphones cannot be removed, it will be hot in the spring. The circumference is not adjustable by dial, it is a kind of universal size, so please measure your head before ordering. Mine fit but I thought it had a micro adjustment. You can't close the vents like the best models. This is pretty much a no-thrill helmet. It's…

It's my first time skiing and I needed a quality helmet that would match my ski jacket so I chose it because of the colorway and brand. Not only was it very comfortable and durable, but it kept my head really warm even in very cold conditions. I have a fairly large head and the large one fits me as per the size chart. As mentioned, the flaps on the sides are very warm and most of the time I didn't even need another cover on my head. I learned a lot and it really withstood every impact on my…

I wasn't overly impressed with this helmet. It's comfortable, looks good and generally meets my expectations. On the downside, it doesn't have adjustable vents (like many helmets) so you can't open/close the vents as needed. It also has surprisingly heavy earcups, making it very difficult to hear, which annoys me a lot. I would have preferred lighter flaps and dealt with maybe slightly colder ears, but am still aware that I can hear from inside my helmet. Note that you can remove the valves…

Bought this helmet for my 2-3 rides a year on the slopes. Just picked it up for a test run this weekend and couldn't be happier. I bought a couple of Google Smiths to go with it and I've never had so much trouble keeping my glasses clean. The design of this helmet makes the leading edge line directly above the top vent of the goggles and traps cold air through the goggles, keeping them low in moisture and never having problems with fogging. Weather conditions ranged from 4* to 20* and I wasn't…

The helmet is light and very nice. However, it has large vents that leave your head too open on cold days. The plastic hook on the back doesn't hold the glasses very well and I had to readjust the strap several times a day. Most importantly, and this is the main reason why I only give this product 2 stars, is that the size given in the USED section of the website is a bit misleading: PLEASE NOTE there are THREE XL TYPES - very large, large and large, with different size ranges(!). If you need a

This helmet has to be one of the best gear purchases we've made as a family. My wife and daughter were beginner snowboarders last year and have reached intermediate level this year. No wonder they have had their fair share of falls and one in particular was life threatening for my wife. The helmet is the only reason she was able to catch her breath and keep going after a massive multiple flip stack on packed (hard) snow. There wasn't a single scratch on the helmet, and highway control said that
