Yes , I recommend this product
After damaging my previous helmet, I was set on upgrading to a better quality helmet. After my first ride, I knew right away it was the right decision. It’s very comfortable and ergonomic. Fits my large head very comfortably. The boa string adjustment makes for a much better fit with its micro adjustment system. I’ve also noticed more breathability with the increase amount of vents - very desirable in the Texas heat. Overall, I’m very impressed and happy with the purchase. I will absolutely buy a Smith helmet next time as well.

Lacking adjustment
No, I do not recommend this product
You can't adjust the positioning of straps below the ears- I wear a size small and they hung down so low I think the helmet lost some of its integrity. Not great for small-headed folks.

Best Helmet I’ve Owned
Yes , I recommend this product
Very comfortable for a brain bucket. The clasp never pinches, the interior is quite flexible in shape due to the tightening knob at the back which forms the internals to you. I love the finish, it holds up to all the scrapes from low branches. Very high quality helmet.

Great Helmet
Perfect fit with the adjustments, not bulky and almost weightless.
