Smith Maze Snowboard Helmet Review

$100
A warm helmet for cold people.
We like smith due to the goggle vents in the front of the helmet. Even though this helmet doesn't compete as well in some areas it's still worth a good look. It's arguably the lightest helmet on the market and most helmets of this design are almost twice the weight. The Smith Maze has a unique venting system with a vent in the front that feeds into channels that run throughout the helmet to some vents in the back. It also has a flap in the back that can cover the vents or open them up. This is much better than the removable plugs that many helmets have. It also does have minor venting for the Goggles but it's not like the Smith Variant and some of the other high end helmets when it comes to venting. We haven't had this out on a really warm day so we can't say if the venting system is going to perform like traditional venting systems. The profile is decent for a helmet of this price range and it will offer good protection and warmth. So if you want a skate style helmet but want something light then the Smith Maze might work very well for you.

Great light weight helmet that does the job

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

I picked up a 2012 edition and I love it. The helmet is very light weight compared to other's that I have tried. I put it on and can have it on all day without it bothering me. It's very minimal and almost skate like which doesn't make you look like a fool on the mountain. There is some ventilation and it works good over here in Southern California weather (and this is on blue bird days) and the goggle clip keeps my goggles in place. I picked up a large and it's stayed in place thus far.

As always, go to a store and try on helmets as every manufacturer is different.

Good Helmet

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

I really like this helmet. With that said last season is the first season I wore a snowboarding helmet. I only gave it 4 stars because the audio isn't the best in the ear muffs, and the Chinstrap came disconnected on me 1 time on the mountatin. Once I fixed it, it was all good though. I would recommend this helmet to other people, and I'm going to continue to use it! It saved me 3 times that I can remember specifically! I was thankful I had this helmet on.
