Smith Variant Brim Helmet

Item #SMI0835 | 1265 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Great fit falling apart

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #1316 - Helmets March 26, 2009

I have had this helmet for a little under a year and already the top plastic cover is beginning to come off, the brim is completely loose on one side and the ratchet fit system in the back is constantly popping out. I have heard that they have put more work into this helmet since last season which I hope is true because it is not a good feeling when your helmet is falling apart within a few months of buying it, especially when it is selling for 150.0 retail. Other than the poor construction, it does fit well and look good but that doesn't really matter when it doesn't stay together.
