  • Quality helmet.
Husband decided to get into mountain biking and our old cycling helmets were disintegrating. Due to the MTB speed and obstacles involved (high-level of risk), I did a lot of research into helmets. This was a great helmet for the cost and one of 3-4 contenders on my list. I have a big head for a female but a small face and it fit! It has proven durable, easily adjustable, and does its job. I hate wearing helmets but wheels=helmet so it is what it is. I would love for it to have extra cushion, memory foam and all that jazz but then it wouldn't be able to do what it needs to do. I feel this helmet has a perfect balance of comfort, style, and protection. It is also one of the lightest on my list of contenders! ... show more

  • Excellent
Color: Matte White/Cement Size: Medium
Love this helmet. Was a bit wary of spending so much, but it's top quality. Had previously ordered another brand and did not care for that one. The Smith helmet is much better looking. On the other helmet the MIPS layer was a solid bright yellow and looked odd, as if I'd forgotten to remove plastic packing material. It's more integrated visually on the Smith helmet. My skull is at the top end of medium or bottom end of large on the sizing chart. I went with the medium and that was the right call. The fit adjusts perfectly and the adjustable three-position visor is a nice touch. In the lowest position it actually does block the sun, unlike others I've worn. The helmet is lightweight and well-ventilated, and I can wear it with eyeglasses with no discomfort at all. Excellent in every way. There's also a drawstring storage bag included for the helmet. ... show more

  • Fantastic Helmet
This helmet is above and beyond my expectations. It's really durable, fits like a glove, and is really stylish. Very good ventilation throughout the entire helmet. Very comfortable as well. The Matte Cinder color is just a fancy term for orange. But it's a nice orange with a subtle greyish-black digital camo pattern throughout the Helmet. It's hard to see in the picture, but it looks really good. Size wise, I bought a Medium. Perfect fit. In a fitted baseball cap I run a 7 and 1/4 size. If your head is much bigger than this, i would go with a large. The adjustable ratcheting system is really nice to get that perfect fit. The MIPS is not a distraction to the fit or size. The helmet comes with a ventilated bag that has shoulder cinch straps. Really nice if you're riding and strop somewhere... no need to leave it unattended on your bike or carry it by hand. Just put it in the bag and throw it on your back like a backpack. Excellent product. ... show more

  • Feels great
Color: Matte White/Cement Size: Medium
Great fit and comfortable. Depending on setting it can allow a lot of airflow. Visor settings are great. While I don’t plan on performing the ultimate test I have high hopes for absorbing impact.

  • Quality control issues
The bad. I’m surprised that a helmet in this price point has problems that I had to fix. The entire liner was shifted to one side because of the stickers at the rear of the helmet overlapping the plastic liner that is attached to the shell. No extra pads included. You may have to correct or exchange helmets. The good. Perfect fit out of the box with a turn of the adjustment knob in the outer rear. The chin strap actually fit perfect without any adjustment. Comfort is good. Conclusion. This helmet should provide more protection than my 8-10 year old, very comfortable Bontrager. The Smith Forefront 2 is noticeably lighter and promises greater protection and ventilation. Good fit, but extra pads are $8 . ... show more

  • Great helmet
I love this helmet. It fits great, looks good, and I feel safer knowing all the safety features it has built in.

  • Excellent helmet but choose your vendor carefully.
Color: Matte White/Cement Size: Medium
The media could not be loaded. The Smith Forefront 2 MTB helmet is constructed well. It is rugged and lightweight. It has MIPS protection to minimize lateral forces. It is comfortable and well ventilated. I currently own three different colors of this helmet that I purchased on Amazon. I attempted to buy a fourth, the one in my pictures, White/Cement, from two different vendors on Amazon. Unfortunately they both sent me dirty, old, used looking helmets that had to be returned. Be sure to check the negative comments in the profiles of the vendor before you hit the Add to Cart button. ... show more

  • Great Helmet
I use this for mountain biking. It fits perfectly and snug. I can't comment on the protection quality as I haven't crashed yet, but it is very good quality. The visor has strong steel rivets, unlike the cheaper Smith models. This was their premium offering helmet last year, and is now highly discounted to usher in the new model. ... show more
