Smith Vantage Helmet

Item #SMI0834 | 153 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Very light and protective, liner needs some work

By Ranked #637 - Helmets January 23, 2011

All of the extras for this helmet are great except one major feature - the liner. I read it somewhere else as well and wanted to agree that it seemed like an after-thought to smith. I know they are trying to keep it low-profile, but it isn't half as comfortable as helmets I have previously owned like the Variant Brim, the Giro G10 MX, etc. It is a great helmet, but definitely not $180 great. I am still trying to figure out how they could charge more than the Variant when the Vantage has less materials.
