Product Different From Image

The ear loops don’t match the photo. They don’t fit right. Also the helmet doesn’t fit like the older model. It’s a bit tight at the temples.

Helmet

i love the honeycomb insect guard. I got stung by a bee last year and it almost killed me. so this helmet was my answer. It seems a little hot, but maybe that's just because I am putting out a lot of watts so I'd be hot in anything. I love the look of this helmet. The sunglasses hold in the arm slots pretty tight.

Comfortable, Good Fit

I like the looks of this helmet as well as the fit.

Saved My Bacon

This purchase is to replace the Trace I was wearing when I went over the handlebars a couple of months ago. Impact was hard enough that I fractured my hip. While my head impacted the pavement with considerable force, the concussion I experienced was relatively minor. With a cheap helmet or no helmet at all, serious brain injury would have been a certainty. Along with saving my bacon, I rode 3000+ miles wearing this helmet. Super comfortable, great ventilation, lightweight, easy to adjust; love this helmet.

Fantastic Bike Helmet !

Fantastic helmet for mountain biking. Yes, this is not a true MTB helmet (I already own the Smith Forefront 2), but I wanted a helmet without a visor. For me, Smith is the best fit. Highly recommended.

My second Trace helmet. Even better than the first.

Size Guide Not True Fit

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.

Looks, Feels, And Saves Brains Great!

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.

Comfortable And Lightweight

Love the color and as with any Smith helmet, the quality is great. I've worn it on a few 90F degree rides and the ventilation is better than my previous helmet.

Great, Safe Fit With A Couple Of Drawbacks

Great fit on this MIPS helmet and excellent construction of shell and inside. Mesh protector does stop you from getting to some "itches" on your head. Also, the helmet is not as cool as other models with more open vents.

Just Feels Good On

Fits like you want a helmet to fit. Firm, secure and evenly tight around your head. One of the nicer looking helmets out there. Completely satisfied.

Excellent Fit!

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.

Great Helmet

This is a great helmet! Super lightweight and fits perfectly. The honeycomb protection liner inside is very comfortable and a super strong structure. I've done 4 rides with this helmet in considerable heat and feel that this provides great ventilation. Making adjustments to this helmet are very easy too. Got it in sale which made it an even better purchase.
