SMITH Convoy MTB Cycling Helmet – Adult Mountain Bike Helmet with MIPS Technology + Visor – Lightweight Impact Protection for Men & Women

I've never worn a helmet on a bicycle primarily because I thought they would be hot; I always wear a helmet on my motorcycle which can be hot plus you go much faster.These were recommended by a friend who always wears his. I found them to be cooler than expected, sun protection for my head and eyes and doesn't fly off like a baseball cap can do.Hope this helps for those on the fence.

Love this helmet. Fits great and is comfortable, I use it for road riding primarily, and some gravel rides. I like helmets with brims because the bright, hot Texas sun is always in my eyes. Even with sun glasses on I need to shade my forehead and my eyes from excess glare.

My son loves the fit of this helmet, and he has worn so many helmets his comment means a lot!

I bought a new bike this year. Wanted to get motivated to ride to work more. Bought new padding for my old helmet all was good. A young man that works for me rides his bike to work everyday. He told me that I should replace my helmet every 5 years or so. Makes sense and I figured I would try something different than my Giro. I've had two Giro helmets before this one this last one I've had for 11 years. I'm going to keep it had as back up.Not knowing anything about new helmets and seeing there were a lot of choices I picked this one for a few reasons. One the name. I know about Smith they are a little pricey but figured I'd give it a try. I don't need a crazy expensive helmet and I know you get what you pay for in the cheap ones. MIPS, never heard of this but if they say it's safer then it's an added measure of feeling good knowing it will protect me from injury in the event of a crash. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and rode without a helmet up until I bought a nice mountain bike. So anything to me is better than nothing. The 11 year old Giro that I have still looks good and has been kept in inside. I know the material could be brittle but again anything is better than nothing at all. I like the black. I bought some red reflective stickers to place around it for looks and better function. The padding is good the tighten adjuster is easy. I like the click of the wheel giving you minor adjustability to dial in the fit. When it's cold in the morning I wear a cap that I have to adjust it out to fit then during lunch or the ride home in the afternoon is easy to adjust back. Chin adjustment is easy too. The visor seems easy to get on and off. I typically had taken the visor off because on my Giro they didn't stay on very well. I've left it on so far it's been okay and well in place.Overall so far it's a great helmet. I've never had any major crashes with any of my helmets and this would be the third helmet I've owned in 17 years of riding. I've been riding to work three or four days a week for the last three weeks. Compared to the Giro that I just replaced the pads on it this one seems to be just as comfortable. The only thing that's really different is the adjuster to tighten it to your head. Oh and I guessed on the size I bought a medium and it fits perfectly. Most of the Giro helmets that I was looking at were universal in size. As I said you get what you pay for if you're serious about safety then spending an extra few dollars on a good helmet is worth it. But with that said anything is better than nothing. I'm surprised I survived childhood with no helmet and I was many wrecks and crashes. This is about $20 higher than the Giro's I was looking at and you can get a better fit with more specific sizes. This is also as light in weight as my old Giro. All the really cheap helmets I looked like they had a light in the back of it which meant it had a battery which to me would make it heavier. Overall I like this helmet so far. We'll see how long it last. Instruction manual says replace after three years that seems kinda short. But they gotta try and make money too. Happy helmet hunting.10-17-23: UpdateI'm knocking off a star. I've had this for over 2 years one of the straps broke on the back of the bracket. I noticed it today while riding to lunch. I can still wear it, I'll try and tape it or zip tie back together and keep it as a backup if needed. The area where it broke is pretty thin. I figure the other side would probably break too. I ordered another helmet just in case. I like this helmet and had no issues until today. I decided to go back to my Giro helmets simply because they have so many options and are relatively cheaper than this helmet. I like to pay around $50 to $60 dollar. The Giro that I bought was discontinued so it was much cheaper than original price. As I said the the Smith is a fine helmet. I guess the owners manual is right the life span is about 3 years. It's only been about 2 and half years since I bought it and don't ride year round. I'm sure their higher end more expensive helmets are better in quality. Some might have better luck to keep longer than 2 and half or 3 years. This was not my experiance.

Great helmet. Fits my son very well

Great helmet for the price. Very comfortable. Can't speak to its ability to save my head, thank goodness.

I am very pleased with this helmet. I needed a helmet with a fixed visor, and that was more difficult to find than I imagined it would be. Luckily I found this one! It's light, comfortable, adjustable, and it has the MIPS safety system. I also like that it came in sizes rather than being a universal fit.My 5-year-old grandson has the same helmet, and it is great for him too! We both have the helmet in small.

I love this helmet. Fit is perfect.
