Good Not Great Helmet

I like a lot of things about this helmet. Looks good, ventilation is fine, and the fit is okay EXCEPT for the vapor-fit dial adjustment system. It sits higher around the back of the head than other helmets, and when tightened securely is somewhat uncomfortable. Also, the dial adjuster is nearly impossible to turn when your hands are sweaty. Difficult to adjust on the fly. Needs some knurling on the surface to improve grip. Frankly, I've worn other several other brands that fit my head better, including Specialized, Kask, and Rudy Project (which I ruined in a crash and was unable to replace with the same color). This Smith Trace was on sale when I purchased it online. Should have tried it on first but could not find one locally

Excellent Choice!

Very nice helmet, light, comfortable and well ventilated. Integrated bug screens are also much welcome.

Fits Extremely Well, Very Adjustable.

Fits extremely well, very adjustable. Airflow could be better, but it never feels overly hot even on the warmest days.

Great Helmet

Excellent fit. The chin strap design solves the irritating problem with older designs where the straps rub your ears. I am very pleased with the helmet.

Smith Trace/poppy-terra-storm

Trace seems to me is upgraded Overtake which I've had for some years. Please don't take my word but similarities are there. Very satisfied with Overtake except ventilation. Smith got it fixed with Trace even with glasses vents to eliminate fogging. That works well but I've not had a chance to test it on humid summer day. Downfall is that the helmet's front sits lower over glasses to make ventilation work but I've experienced bumping between helmet and glasses during rougher gravel ride. MTB ride was the same story but I can live with that. It is not a MTB helmet. Fits great just like Overtake. Love new improved straps. Highly recommend this lid.
