SMITH Persist Cycling Helmet

First is comfort, This is a rather heavy lid and with the suspension system and padding you really don't know its on your head. Ventilation is very good, its a great looking lid however It does have bit of the mushroom effect. It has MIPs so for safety and functionality I would rate it very good for this price point. The helmet is adjustable so fit and comfort are equal to helmets twice the price. The hemet has a nice gloss finish. Would I recommend this helmet ABSOLUTELY. the only cons are the mushroom effect which is not to bathe upside to that is your head is covered. and sunglasses have no holes for then. But for the price I can see many miles with this Black beauty.

This is my first "higher end" helmet. Normally I was buying a cheaper Bell option from a big box store but with all the new tech in helmet safety I figured I'd splurge a little and picked up this Smith helmet. The fit is excellent, between the dial and straps I was able to dial it in nicely. The MIPS system takes a second to get used to if you've never had it before; its allowed to move a little back and forth but you don't notice it while you're wearing it. Just something to be aware of when adjusting the fitment.I took it out for the first ride yesterday and the ventilation was good, no complaints on fitment or anything of that nature. After a minute or two I forgot I had it on. It's very light weight. Overall, a great helmet.

The medium-size helmet fits my head well, is light and thus does not strain the neck, and appears to be designed well for head protection in the event of a crash, which I fortunately have not yet experienced while wearing this helmet. I had a catastrophic bike accident (the SUV driver was at fault for the accident) last summer while wearing another bike helmet, and the doctors at the hospital said that I would have died if I had not worn the helmet.

The helmet arrived on time and I wore it on a ride the next day! It is very comfortable and lightweight and has all the latest in protection for my head. I chose white because it will reflect the sun and keep my head cool. Great product great price great quality great service from Amazon!

I got this for half price, presumably because of the color (all the rest were full price), but my Gazelle is burnt orange so it rocks with my Shady Rays. Smith helmets are known for quality and this one is well made, very light, and quite comfortable. What a deal!

I'm very happy with the fit and feel of this new helmet and I love the technology it comes with that makes me feel protected. I'm hoping that as summer progresses, I will feel and appreciate the ventilation provided. My previous helmet had the honeycomb mesh in the vents which keeps bugs out but may also give slightly less ventilation. It's too early to tell yet. It's easy to adjust the straps for a pergect fit and the helmet has a sleek appearance. It's an added plus that it's made to fit well with Smith Sun Glasses. It also fits well with most cycling glasses including my Tifosi brand.

This helmet goes on well, and virtually disappears it fits so well! I don't give it a second thought, it is so comfortable.

Was so thankful I was wearing a Smith MIPS rated ski helmet this winter - that purchasing a Smith MIPS helmet for biking was a no-brainer. Love the fit and confidence that the Smith MIPS helmets really work as intended during an accident.

Nice helmet
