Smith  Transit Mips Bike Helmet

My husband was not a fan of helmets. He has a large head and they never fit well. They did not really go far enough down on his head. We bought this with new bikes from. REI. I am currently in the hospital thanking Smith helmets for being the difference between his broken jaw and a severe head trauma or worse. The helmet took a beating so his head did not.

I upgraded to this helmet after wearing another brand for a few years- why? Because my husband has one and in the summer in the desert I realized mine was causing me to sweat even more. I tried his on and realized how light it was, how it had more room for my massive head, and more vents to allow air movement. All of these things are key for someone who commutes to work (so I don’t look like a spicy disaster when I roll up to the office in the morning!) so far so good overall!

Wanted to buy something low cost and I got these on sale at rei. They’re fairly comfortable to wear, have mips tech that I wanted, and is simplistic. Lots of ventilation! The straps aren’t that comfortable, I find them a little annoying but that’s probably because I haven’t been riding bikes in a while and I’m used to more comfortable ski helmets. All that said, the helmet does its job. I feel secure when riding and that’s all that matters.

Lightweight and comfortable! Love that the fit is easy to quickly adjust, and the color looks exactly the same in person as it does online.

The product did not describe the straps are very short and designed for a child's neck.

The fit is perfect, helmet is lightweight, comfortable, and I forget I am wearing it.
