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

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.

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.
