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.
Used this helmet for months of Montana powdered glades. Great adjustable fit allows for balaclava or not. Toasty warm with vents closed. With them open I don't even feel like I've a helmet on. Took some tough head shots with no damage to nut or shell. Perfect fit, no gap, with Smith and Uvex goggles. Go for it!
Description: This helmet is awesome. It is lightweight and has vents that open up to cool you off and close up to keep you warm on the bitter days. It looks really good with the Smith Phenom goggles or the new I/O
goggles from Smith.
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.
