“I purchased this helmet because Smith has fit well in the past and has been functional and comfortable. This helmet is still comfortable and not too bulky or heavy. It still fits in my daily 35L pack which I like. I also like the triple cert for ski mountaineering type objectives.
I don’t like that there is no goggle attachment in the back of the helmet. Something to hold them in place and on the helmet would be very beneficial. If I put my hood up and over the helmet while the goggles are on they fall off a lot and I had to mostly stop riding with the hood up to make sure the goggles stay on. Additionally, i thought there would be better integration with the shape of the front of the helmet and a smith goggles. I use the 4D mag and there’s a bit of gaper gap.
So, all in all this is just ok. Not a standout in my mind.”
“Headlamp clamps are janke. You definitely need to prefix your headlamp before getting into the BC. Otherwise, you'll freeze trying to attach it. Also, no strap to fix the goggles to the helmet. This is the biggest disappointment. Nothing worse than your goggles moving around when you ski. There's also a slight gaper gap with IO Mag XLs. The main reason I get Smith is so it fits perfectly with my goggles. It also feels big. Like I have to really crank the boa to fit my head. Ordered the same size as my Smith MTB helmet and my Smith Vantage resort helmet. Perhaps it's large for when you wear a beanie underneath? Was stoked to get it, but now I'm bummed. Will keep it due to the potentially improved safety over my Petzl. We'll see if I actually use it.”
