Build Quality

I'm just starting out with this helmet but am very impressed so far. The construction and attention to detail is very good. Easy to adjust and very comfortable seat. I thought it was a bit pricey but after buying and riding it I'm glad I made the purchase. Much better fit than previous helmets. Also, I feel like I have a good defense. No matter how much we spend on bikes and accessories, head insurance is a very good investment!

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Easy Serviceability

Smith's website has been saying for a LONG time that

My wife always made fun of me wearing an MTB bike helmet. She gave me this for Christmas. This helmet is lightweight and has excellent ventilation. I don't even realize I'm wearing it. The helmet stays in place, fits snugly and doesn't slip when you hit bumps. Besides all the advantages, it looks cool. I don't know if

MIPS Rugged Helmet

This is my second helmet. I still have the previous one but the visor cracked after a fall a few months ago. I use them for road cycling even though they claim to be MTB. They are good on cold days. They are more durable than road bike helmets and have better protection at the back of the head. All my helmets have MIPS technology. i think it works These helmets are a bit hotter than regular road bike types as they have honeycomb material for protection so there are no gaps at the top like…
