“This was to replace a helmet that had come apart, I have to say I am impressed with the customer service and the turn around time in getting it shipped. 4 days later there is a box sitting on the step and I'm like what did I order not thinking it would be here so fast.
Great Job Smith!”
“I wanted to use it before writing this review.
Sizing. I knew this was an issue once it arrived. Having previously ordered and tried the Vantage. My size is a 56-57, and with a balaclava puts me at a 57-58. So just about to cross over from Medium-Large. The front of the Vantage hurt in a medium. This is too loose without a balaclava, fully tightened. So, keep this in mind if you are my sizing.
With the above said on sizing I also think having such a drastic change in sizing, not informing customers and then having Canadian customers pay for returns does give a sour taste in ones mouth. I've had to test/return 3 helmets and still ended up with one too large before I gave up and kept the large. I did this as I don't own a car with no place nearby with stock.
Style, I really do like the style of this helmet over all of the others. Now the one gripe I would have is that may be related to sizing is that it does look very wide and comes off as quite big.
Vents, they are a bit harder/manipulate to open and close than the Vantage. I would consider this a con, I cant see them being accidentally moved.
Price, kinda ludicrous. It's a helmet, but people like you and me seem to pay it. Cosmetics/claimed safety won me over. Gotta pay that "innovation" ROI . It does its purpose without actually smashing my head into something, and I hope to not return with a review after doing so.
Aleck, my wireless ones fit fine and dandy, you will need to remove a foam placeholder. Which was not in the instructions, so just know you ain't rippin' out something you shouldn't .
Hope this helps. Smith, please reconsider free return shipping for Canada if I am paying this much for something.”
“I have been wearing Smith helmets for years and usually go for the high end version, but this one was very disappointing. I have always worn a large, but this was just way too big and overall it was so bulky it barely fit under my hood. I ended up returning it and buying one that was more in line with their normal sized helmets.”

“I love this helmet and fits nice and great performance. My only complaint is one of the ear peices slides out easily and I’m constantly adjusting and snapping it back in.”

“I think it is a very good helmet. I would prefer it is slimmed. Comparing to the size large Vantage or even the Variance helmets. It is larger. ie. bulkier. Just not be seen you have huge head.”
