5 Star Rating

Variant

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #11 - Helmets March 9, 2009

wore this helmet the entire last season: good breathability- which works nice with the moisture management. not heavy or clonky which works well if you're not a huge helmet fan-- however I AM A HUGE HELMET FAN and this worked great for me as well. I just read the comment on it lacking a great system for keeping your goggles from falling off the back of the helmet--but if you just rest them half on the brim it works great... PLUS it has a "snap-clip" for the goggs which i prefer to the "slide-in" clip because then if they do slide off the back they're definitely not going anywhere. I loved the helmet-- AND GET READY FOR THE MAZE!!!! New Smith helmet coming out that's lighter than a piece of popcorn and is fully certified!!!! IT'S AWESOME --keep your eyes open---
