Reviews
Very good helmet.
"Very good helmet."
— Daniel M. (5/5)
Great helmet but the goggle strap deformed
"I love almost everything about my helmet but on the first use at a resort the googles strap deformed and I lost a 1 day old pair of smith goggles as the strap didn’t hold them on. Now only use for indoor slope use."
— Daniel L. (3/5)
Great helmet, runs small
"Super glad I tried this helmet on before buying it. I have a more round shaped head and this helmet fits me great. I typically wear a Medium but needed a Large for this one. All in all it's comfortable, has good airflow and was delivered quickly. I'd also recommend waiting until their spring sale to purchase one. It normally retails for $270 but was on sale for $150 this spring. . ."
— Sean W. (5/5)
Best helmet on the market
"Although I've had helmets from Giro and Spy, none of them come close to this one. really light and comfortable, making me forget I'm wearing anything. With MIPS technology, this helmet would offer excellent crash protection and is my favorite form and design out of all of them."
— CHRISTIAN D. (5/5)
Vantage saved my life
"I recently had a season ending fall at Alpine Meadows where I hit two separate trees while sliding down Counterweight Gully. I broke both wrists and had a concussion that left me dazed for about three days. The doctor at ER asked to see my helmet and she confirmed that the Smith Vantage saved my life. Time for me to get a new helmet."
— George (5/5)
Smith Magnify goggles
"Smith has always had great glass and their goggles are no exception! I recently was able to use the Magfit goggles on a ski trip and they performed flawlessly in all conditions. The ability to easily switch lens with the flow of a switch to go from bright conditions to low light conditions was awesome! Highly recommend!!!"
— Neal C. (5/5)
Great looking helmet
"Looks and fits great. Have not had a chance to ski with it yet but I think it’ll be just as good as it looks and feels."
— Dusan G. (5/5)
Vantage MIPS protects like advertised
"This is my second vantage helemt this season. The first shattered on a fall I had in Jackson Hole. Thanks goodness I had the MIPS helmet or I would have had a major concussion but with the Vantage obsorbing the entire impact I walked away with no concussion or head injury."
— There (5/5)
Great helmet
"Very light and comfortable! eEasily adjusts to fit my head and I really like the closable two- section vents! My favorite feature is the small little visor that goes out over the goggles that keep s okey-doke now from sitting on the top of my goggles"
— Darren (5/5)
Runs small
"I bought the round fit and it was not round fit like the other smith helmets. Seems like a great helmet but it was sizing was different to other smith helmets and I found it uncomfortable"
— James W. (2/5)
