Review: Great gravel helmet - I find myself being a collector of helmets as I look for the best fit/performance for road, gravel and mountain biking. I was looking for a better fitting and functioning helmet for gravel and XC racing. I’ve been using a traditional road bike helmet, but felt under protected while riding on chunky gravel. A MTB helmet with the visor and added protection and weight just isn’t ideal. Enter the Smith Trace. A couple of friends have been using the Forefront and really found it really comfortable. I ordered the Trace and am pleasantly surprised at how well if feels right out of the box. I adjusted the back Vaporfit mech to the lowest setting and the fit is perfect. The straps are easy to adjust and have a nice soft feel to them. It was easy to adjust the front straps to fit flat. I bought it just in time for a gravel race in Alabama. Temp was in the mid 70s for the majority of the race, and the helmet was perfect in ventilation. It started off cool and damp, and I was worried about my glasses fogging up. The vents right above the glasses are fantastic for keeping glasses clear. I appreciated the two spaces, both front and rear where you can store the glasses. It holds them securely and out of the way, almost to the point that you forget they are up there. I am happy with this helmet for gravel riding and the two races I’ve used it for. It feels comfortable, and more importantly safe while racing.
Review: Excelent protection, comfortable, well worth it. - Great fit. Comfortable, adjustable, light, cool. You forget you are wearing it. I had a recent fall on fresh asphalt; hit my head hard but the helmet absorved the impact beatifully. After a few minutes was able to continue on with the ride. No pain, scratches, or damage watsoever to head or face. The Koroyd material is amazing. Great helmet. I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great helmet, cool styling, decent price and great airflow
*by G***Y on August 26, 2024*

Smith does a great job on this helmet. Comfortable, well fitting, awesome airflow and fairly stylish. A little off radar from some of the "big" brands. Well worth it and I had quite a few people ask me about it on my group rides.
