This helmet is sooooo light that I kept reaching up to make sure it had not fallen off while I was in the Gondola headed up for its test drive.

This helmet is sooooo light that I kept reaching up to make sure it had not fallen off while I was in the Gondola headed up for its test drive. Once I was strapped in and moving, however, I knew that it was on my head…it was a 10 degree day and the cold air raced through the front vents, reminding me that it was a 10 degree day. While effectively waking me up from the lazy gondola ride, it would have been a more pleasant experience on a spring day when the apparently unobstructed airflow would have been a welcome feature.

As is, it is a great helmet, but has room for improvement due to the insufficient interior vent covers. Once Smith has masterminded a thicker, more effective block to the cold air, this helmet will be the best of the best and I can save the ice cream headache for Ben and Jerry’s couch sessions!
