This Helmet Did Its Job But...

I bought this helmet in March and was very happy with the fit and airflow. I had a bad crash yesterday when another rider fell in front of me. I went over him hitting the pavement with the front left of the helmet. This helmet did its job and took the brunt of the damage. Unfortunately the impact pushed the thin MIPS plastic into my temple leaving a gash that required eleven stitches. I would definitely take the stitches over a traumatic brain injury but it would seem that there could be something to make that edge less exposed.

Size Guide Not True Fit

I've bought a Smith Trace helmet and is really tight around the frontal lobes. My head circumference is 57 cm which is size M according to Smith size chart. Measured the helmet on the frontal area and noticed that is smaller with 1 cm than my old GIRO. Unfortunately not able to return as the company doesn't offer return labels through Canadian shipping partners.

Looks, Feels, And Saves Brains Great!

Loved everything about this helmet. Fit, lightweight, and color. I chose this helmet because of the looks AND after reading about Koroyd and MIPS technology, I was convinced of the value. LUCKY ME for wearing this amazing helmet when I was hit by a car recently. After flying over the car, I landed directly on my head, breaking my neck. See the dents in the helmet that despite a direct impact against the pavement, I suffered no concussion. Thank You Smith Optics & Helmets. I WILL be purchasing another when I am back in the saddle one day, and advocate for the importance of wearing GOOD and Proper fitting helmets.

Comfortable And Lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the color and as with any Smith helmet, the quality is great. I've worn it on a few 90F degree rides and the ventilation is better than my previous helmet.

Great, Safe Fit With A Couple Of Drawbacks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit on this MIPS helmet and excellent construction of shell and inside. Mesh protector does stop you from getting to some "itches" on your head. Also, the helmet is not as cool as other models with more open vents.
