Smith Variant Brim Helmet

Smith's Variant Brim Snow Helmet features Hybrid construction and a sleek brim to produce an effective helmet with tons of style. The Hybrid construction uses an ABS shell and an in-mold liner to create a lightweight and high-impact-absorbing helmet. AirEvac 2 technology allows this helmet to work well with goggles by channeling moist air away from your goggles and over your head in order to reduce fogging. The Smith Variant has adjustable vents for better climate control, so you don't get a steamy noggin. *Compatible with Skullcandy phone/audio systems (not included).

Bottom Line: Smith's Variant Brim Snow Helmet lets you catch some air without your mom freaking out about how you're gonna die.

Looking for a XL Black Smith Variant Brim Helmet, My hat size

Measure your head around, as in the circumference. If it is 23.5 inches, which is what a 7.5 sized hat actually is, then you will be able to get the Large sized helmet. If it is bigger, then you will have to keep looking around for an XL.

good breathing hard hat

I feel like this helmet is fairly light considering the durability of the hard shell. Its bomber, and fit my head nicely, this helmet seems to hold tighter to my head than some. There is really nice vent modulation. the vents are adjustable on each side and have three positions, Its nice to be able to fine tune your venting on those deep days.

Yeah, I got my variant brim a few days ago and I tried it on with my crowbars and the fit pefectly. The shape of the tope crowbars almost fits the shape of the helment.

Got mine a few days ago and just love it. I used to have a red hi-fi helmet but i changed this year. The helmet is super comfy and holds onto my head great. I for sure recommend it. :)

Cool piece but Smith's warranty sucks.

By:
October 21, 2009

I got this helmet last winter because I wanted a bucket cover that had a visor on it. Well the visor ended up breaking after only owning the helmet for two days. I tried to get Smith to replace it and they wouldn't. Smith wouldn't even let me buy a visor to repair the helmet myself. Smith's customer service was not professional and acted short and rude with me. A $180 helmet became a piece of ugly junk in two days. If you wear a helmet for a reason other than looking cool, don't go with a Smith visored helmet.

i bought this helmet to compliment my smith googles more so than the giro omen i had previously. Not only does it fit with my googles perfectly it's overall great. Light, warm, very comfortable and it holds on tight. The vents also allow in an immense amount of air. A +

I have this helmet in the bright blue in size medium. I was wondering

I have this helmet in the bright blue in size medium. I was wondering if you'll be getting it in that colour again for 2009, as I can only see the small on your site. Cheers!

No Variant Brims in a blue color for this year. We've got every color that they offered. There is a dope looking Maze that is kind of neon blue and yellow...

Feels good, looks good

By:

I just received this and I'm pumped. The chocolate check is a badass color. This helmet fits extremely well with the Scott Alias, Oakley A-Frame, and the Smith Anthem goggles, with no gap. The strap system seems secure. I think the brim will prevent putting goggles on the forehead. Venting is easy to operate with gloves on.

Very well designed, awsome style. The vents work perfect, open em when it's sunny, close it during blizzards. My smith phenom goggles fit it perfectly. This helmet is the best. It's pricey, but worth it. According to me.

Actually there is a way to rig up the skullcandy twintip audio ear pads to a walkie-talkie. Just need the right cables.
