“I do not own this bike helmet but I just witnessed a car/bike collision where the cyclist was going about 20 mph when the car made an illegal left turn in front of him. I expected to see a fatality; however, the rider left the scene under his own power. He had scrapes and bruises on his forehead and probably has a concussion. The helmet had a small dent from where his head hit the pavement. I would say that earns it a 5 star review.”

“This helmet has decent cooling and looks fantastic!!
Unfortunately, you (still) can't get replacement lenses... It also wants to slide down your head however tight/loose you have it causing the lens to rub your nose (using electrical tape for padding). The adhesive that holds the felt'ish pads near your ears have been failing as well.. so if your ok with customizing this helmet, it's great! But out of the box needs some work, and hope you don't damage your lens.!
Despite the issues, I still rave about this helmet to anyone that asks.”

“I’ve only ridden with this helmet for 20 miles but I already love it. The fit is perfect and I can wear my large glasses with this TT helmet which I could not with others. And it looks very cool. Two thumbs up.”
“Although sleek and a nicely designed aero helmet (that is comfortable and light) I do not like the new design. I was a HUGE fan of the former Podium TT design and was much looking forward to some similarities, but there were none. What I favored most in the previous design was a much more rounded edge at the back vs that elongated "aero" point at the back. In my opinion the Jetstream's material felt almost too light, sort of thin and flimsy. I wanted to like this one a lot but I guess I just miss my Podium TT. Will definitely still rock it at races and rep the SMITH brand though. Thanks for this opportunity to share.”

“I love the helmet, but Smith needs to sell replacement eye shield clip-on’s for this model. So when they get damaged, I’m basically out of luck… not really helpful. However, the helmet performs excellently. Also for folks with long hair… buckle up, this helmet is difficult to work around a hair bun.”
