Why We Like The Smith Triad Mips Helmet
From road cycling to gravel riding, the Smith Triad bike helmet has us covered with advanced impact technology and tunable comfort. The Zonal Koroyd technology helps to disperse impact energy through a wider area, and Mips acts as a slip plane between the helmet and our head to reduce rotation forces in a crash. Smith's VaporFit adjustment system gives us an easy and snug fit at the turn of a dial, and the traditional buckle under our chin secures the fit. Tons of airflow vents keep us cool, and theintegrated sunglasses storageallows us to store our glasses when we don't need them.

My second Smith helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- MD
- Height:
- 5' 7"
- Weight:
- 132
Thankfully I was lucky enough to be able to buy this well-designed helmet a second time after suffering a severe crash with a car (multiple broken bones including 10 ribs and pelvis in two places; 3 days in intensive care and a week's hospital stay). The first of my Smith helmets was slightly banged up by the crash but it did its job (thank God!). My old, crashed helmet actually seemed fine (at least to me) and I was a little proud of the scratches from its interaction with the pavement, but everyone I talked to (especially my wife) told me to retire it so I finally acquiesced. While I like the looks of this model, I know there may be a moderate compromise because of the rugged protection it provides compared to the sleek, racy look of some other helmets. The Smith people have done a remarkable design job with this one. I read the reviews about the difficulty with the sunglass storage which I did not even know about. Of course, that means nothing to me as I look back on the first helmet's performance, but I recommend that anyone who stores their riding glasses (during a ride) to switch there glasses to transition lenses like I have been using for the last 30 odd years so you never have to take them off during a ride. (I have ridden over a hundred double century rides which usually start well before sunup and end after dark. I never take off my riding glasses while riding and have had zero problems with vision issues.)

Great helmet!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This helmet fit my budget and I love it. I primarily use it as a Gravel helmet, but have also worn it mountain biking a few times. I wear it with my Smith Wildcat sunglasses and they work perfectly together. The sunglass storage is a bit hard to use, and I find the sunglass arms get stuck sometimes and I have to use some muscle to get them out. Not ideal for when I am on the bike, but overall this is a great helmet. I got the Matte Dusk color and it's awesome.
