Why We Like The Mainline Mips Full-Face Helmet

Advanced protective features include Smith's unique Koroyd crumple zones that go above and beyond to disperse impact forces, as well as a MIPS protective layer that helps mitigate harmful oblique impacts.

Med. Helmet; hat size 7-1/4

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I wear 7-1/4 fitted hat, 7-1/8 when I had shorter hair. The size M fits comfortably snug with the medium size pads that come installed. (I didn't bother trying the small or large pads because it's spot on.)

10/10

Crashed at a bike park and I'm convinced this helmet is the only reason my skull isn't cracked open. So thankful I was wearing this helmet. I've heard people say it's squeaky and it is if I purposely listen for it but I don't notice it at all while I'm riding.

They work!

I took the worst crash of my career last week and the mainline worked flawlessly.

Highly recommend

I have been wearing one of these helmets for about a year. It is comfortable, well vented and light. After crashing at a bike park and landing face first on a rock I can also confidently say that it offers great protection also. I broke the helmet,but walked away with only a small cut on my face. I also bought the same helmet as a replacement. If you're considering buying a mainline, get one.

Solid

Great product. Don’t normally bother writing reviews but just went over the bars and landed on what would have been my face if it hadn’t been for this helmet. Body pretty banged up but not a scratch on my face/head

Meh

I might get some backlash here, but I may be the only one that hates this helmet. Pros: -Lightweight -Breathable -assorted cheek pad sizes Cons: -No rear tension for a snugger fit -Chin strap is impossible with gloves on *prefer a quicker release like the Bell Quick Air chin strap -sizing is off, the med didnt feel secure on my dome and a small was too snug -i cant pull up my goggles for a quick breather, they flop right back into your face I wore this helmet once on a longer ride and was so ticked the whole time. I fumbled with my gloves every time i wanted to take it on and off for a breather. And i know its not just me because my friend has this helmet and its annoying with the chin strap and gloves. I didnt like how lose it felt, i had to have the chin strap basically choking me and even then i just didnt like the fit. If Smith adds a rear tension adjustor and an easier way chin strap i would love it. Just not for me. Lame.

I've owned Smith ski helmets, first Smith bike helmet.

Great fitting, great looking, confidence booster. I haven't taken a fall with the Mainline, but feel that it will keep me safe if that day comes.
