Smith Method Pro Helmet Test Notes
"It has a clean design, smooth shape, and smooth lines, and it is super lightweight. It's actually shocking how light it is. And you still get full protection coverage. Overall, the helmet feels really good on your head. Personally, I wear my goggle strap underneath the helmet, but if you want to run the strap over the top, you can go either way. Ear pads in this helmet are removable, which is pretty sweet, especially on those warmer spring days. Pop those eggs out, and then you'll be able to rock it on a warmer day. I think it's pretty cool that you have audio integration. So if you have the Bluetooth little speakers or pucks, just unzip, then slide in the ear pads, and then you can rock and roll. Fit wise, this one's a medium that I was wearing, and I'm generally a medium in most helmets, hats, that kind of thing. I would say it's true to fit. I like the micro-adjustable dial, so you can really fine-tune the fit. Another thing that I like about this helmet as well is the fid-lock buckle. So it's a really easy, quick off and on.
It's a clean design, has a very low profile, is super lightweight, like I mentioned, and has tons of adjustability. So if you're looking at something that's comfortable, throw it on and forget about it. You're going to get that out of the Smith Method Pro."—Jon
