Smith Rodeo Helmet Test Notes

"I really liked the simplicity of the design. It's got loads of vents in the top as well. It's going to keep you nice and cool. On the spring days, if you wanted to wear your goggles over the top or underneath the helmet, it's super easy. You've got the nice removable clip on the back here to keep your goggles strap locked in when you want them on top, and then just take that off, have them underneath, and it's super comfy to do that as well.
The fit, when you put the goggles on top or underneath, it's pretty much the same. This helmet's super comfy, whichever way you choose to wear your goggles. This helmet also has MIPS, which is just that added level of safety. Another great feature of this helmet is the little dial on the back here, which just makes sure that you're going to get that helmet super snug and fitting exactly how you want it on your head. My favorite three features of this helmet would be the vents, the low profile skate style of it, and then the comfort of the helmet as well. It's going to be really comfortable on your head due to all that padding inside. " —John
