“Tried to purchase this helmet 3 times. Ordered one from REI, but it was an old version, manufactured in 2021. Ordered 2 of these helmets directly from Smith. Got the old version again. Called Smith Customer Support. Told them that the Trace MIPS pictured on their website was what I wanted, ( 2 of them). They said they would send them to me, but wouldn't guarantee they would not be the old ones. Guess they were right. Got 2 old ones, manufactured in 2021, and a different ear strap style tan the one on their website. Returned them. Why in the world does Smith advertise a helmet on their website and pull a bait and switch and sell an outdated version. If they want to get rid of old stock, they should sell it at a discount, not try to pass it off as latest model. I'll
look for a different brand.

“I've bought a Smith Trace helmet and is really tight around the frontal lobes. My head circumference is 57 cm which is size M according to Smith size chart.
Measured the helmet on the frontal area and noticed that is smaller with 1 cm than my old GIRO. Unfortunately not able to return as the company doesn't offer return labels through Canadian shipping partners.”

“Loved everything about this helmet. Fit, lightweight, and color.
I chose this helmet because of the looks AND after reading about Koroyd and MIPS technology, I was convinced of the value.
LUCKY ME for wearing this amazing helmet when I was hit by a car recently. After flying over the car, I landed directly on my head, breaking my neck. See the dents in the helmet that despite a direct impact against the pavement, I suffered no concussion. Thank You Smith Optics & Helmets. I WILL be purchasing another when I am back in the saddle one day, and advocate for the importance of wearing GOOD and Proper fitting helmets.”

“Love the fit of this helmet you know its good when you forget it is there. I also got the Wildcat and there is a seamless fit with these two together. I use it for MTB and cyclocross.”
