Description of Smith 2008 Variant Helmet: |
|
Want a helmet that does everything but make your coffee in the morning? The Smith Men's Variant Helmet offers all the latest and greatest in helmet technology, at least until the fine day when your ski helmet asks if you want cream and sugar in the morning. A tough polycarbonate shell makes rocks and trees quiver with fright and jump out of your way. (Well, almost.) The Variant's Adjustable Regulator ventilation lets you decide just how much airflow your cranium requires, and the high-performance X-Static lining eliminates odor, regulates temperature, and minimizes static. The removable goggle clip holds your frames just where you want ‘em, and removable snap-fit ear pads can swap out for audio pads if you want to rock out to Stevie Wonder while you shred.
Bottom Line: The Smith Variant Snow Helmet knows that when onlookers think you're crazy, you're doing something cool.

| Do headhunters pass on you? Smith built this for the weird headed too! 11-12-08 |

| Got a shrunken head? then this is the helmet for you! I have a hard time finding helmets, hats, and even beanies that look good on me. My face is kind of long oval-shaped and I have a small head circumference, about 53 cm. The HFS system solved that dilemma right away. Tried on my size, adjusted the HFS in the back and my head finally knew what it was like to cuddle. I loved it. Extremely lightweight, comfortable padding, cool looking, and they fit perfectly with my POC lobe goggles! A little more expensive than most, but worth it. get last years model on sale if you can. |

| Smith - making helmets cool again 09-16-08 |
Wally Phillips (18):  |
| Well, I can't really say that. Most helmet companies are doing a great job of this, but this Variant helmet is a great overall entry into the industry. This helmet is very light and very versatile because of its venting system. The ability to partially open vents really does help in this case. The fit is pretty much dead even to what Smith is saying and the music ear pads that can be put in as an after market piece work very well. Downsides? Well, if it gets too warm, that ventilation system won't help anymore and it will fit with most goggles except some Oakley frames. Overall, a great helmet that no one will be ashamed to get noticed in. |

| This helmet has all the great features like vents, fit, style, but they are all secondary to the main purpose, keeping your melon intact. And I've often wondered how these lightweight lids would really hold up to impact with a rock or tree. Managed to tumble through some cliffs head first the other day and I'm gladly here to say the helmet held up really well. Cracked, scratched and dented I think it will make it through the season unlike my skis.
The only negative for me was that before head butting the mountain I managed to break off one of the vent sliders. This was really annoying, but it may just have been operator misuse? |
