SMITHNetwork Cycling Helmet – Versatile Adult Road or MTB Bike Helmet with MIPS Technology + Zonal Koroyd Coverage – Lightweight Impact Protection for Men & Women

I love my smith ski helmet so figured I'd check out the new bike helmets as well!Was between the POC octal MIPS, Smith overtake MIPS, and the Smith network MIPS. Went to sports basement to try on and the overtake did not fit my head at all. The octal fit well and was super light but I was interested in seeing the Koroyd technology in the new Smith helmets. Apparently this honeycomb structure absorbs 30% more energy than traditional helmets especially in slower sleep crashes when the normal foam wouldn't have deformed (i.e. commuting). The network has this stuff on the sides as opposed to the overtake which has it all around. I read it made the overtake helmet a bit warm which is a problem for me so I was interested in seeing the network in action. I took it on a 52 mile ride last weekend and the built in (and removable) visor worked incredibly as a sweat band and kept the sweat off my sunglasses (a problem I didn't even know I would be solving!!). Helmet looks great, fits well, is not too hot, and hopefully has extra tech inside it that will keep my noggin safe on long rides and commuting.2 issues:1) The straps are not as high quality build as the POC octal. The POC has a system where the two straps around the ear meet and then a new strap comes straight down - that felt a lot better than this system but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.2) After about 2.5 hours the vaporfit system started to get a teeny bit uncomfortable - however I think that was more of a function of my poor riding posture. On my daily commute (30 min) I don't notice this at all and barely notice the helmet on my head.

I recently replaced the visor that came with the helmet, after losing the original. Customer service was excellent and replaced it quickly. The helmet is light weight, good air flow and I the straps allow for secure fitting and no movement. That’s really important and you should make sure to properly fit it and secure the straps. Otherwise you’re not really protected. I have also replaced the padding, because I use it daily and sweat a lot, plus the padding improves comfort for sure. Great helmet and I paid full price and have worn it for over a year. I love the oversized visor for both sun and rain protection. It is detachable but that’s how I lost the original.Would highly recommend although I’ve never had to test the main feature, safety.

Nicest helmet I bought in a while. It has MIPS and the cell crumple zones on the sides. You get two great technologies in one. Looks great and fits great.

Like all helmets - it seemed very expensive for what it was - the MIPS was simply a sloppy-moving interior head cradle -ran small. Returned it. (tried 5 helmets - best one selected "Giro Vasona MIPS Womens Recreational Cycling Helmet - Universal Women’s (50-57 cm), Matte Black (2021)" it was the lightest, most comfy, best fitting, best looking (opinion) and smaller of the shells.

I was pleasantly surprised by how light weight this helmet is. It also fits well and is much cooler than my previous helmet.

I haven't used it yet but tried it on and the straps are easy to adjust. Mine is a matte white with grey straps so it also looks good. It doesn't overpower my head as some helmets tend to do that are unisex. After I use it and, if I need to change my review, I will, but this is the first helmet that meets all the checkmarks and I've tried on several.

Lightweight. Fits perfectly.

I used a cheap $25 Walmart helmet for too long. Finally decided it was dented and needed a new one to protect me during road biking. I wish I had gotten a real helmet sooner! The comfort is above and beyond what i was using before. Sometimes I forget it’s on.

Sorprendido gratamente por la calidad y ajuste del casco. Muy bien acabado.

Casco de calidad con Mips. Pesa muy poco. No lo he probado aún pero tiene pinta que ventila bien. Trae una visera que se puede poner o quitar. Estéticamente queda muy bien el conjunto y ajusta bien. Como punto negativo diría que la correa de la parte trasera es de un plástico muy fino y no sé si muy resistente, da la sensación que esta pieza no va acorde a la calidad del resto.. el tiempo dirá.

Conforme à l’attente

Volevo prendere un casco con delle caratteristiche di sicurezza elevate.Dopo aver fatto diverse ricerche sono arrivato alla decisione di acquistare questo.Calzata precisa e comoda, per ora nessun problema di adattamento o altro. Sembra molto areato per cui non dovrebbe creare problemi in estate

Es war ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für meinen Vater. Er hat sich sehr darüber gefreut und war überrascht, dass er leicht ist und sich leicht einstellen lässt. Er wird ihn benutzen, wenn er seine Armverletzung auskuriert hat!
