Not trying to Troll, honest question. How do these compare to comparable priced Giro MIPS? I get a great fit with Giro, not so much with Bell (even though they’re the same company). Is there...

I got the Trace a couple of weeks ago from Sierra Trading Post ($119, I think) and I think it's great. Pretty much my first higher end helmet so I can't compare to Giro, for example, but it's light,...

My previous helmets have been Giro. I don't think you can go wrong with any reputable brand, but in this case I chose Smith for availability, price and ventilation. My last Giro MTB helmet (Hex) was...

Thanks was just curious. Giro fits my head well and last time I ordered a helmet online without trying it on (which wasn't Giro) the fit was off. Will try a Smith next time I see one in a store.

look for something from giro or bell in your price range. for under $50 you will likely end up with something that is "one size fits all" and adjustable. it should still keep you safe in a crash

If you ride a lot, and are on a budget, you're better off buying a new helmet every 2-3 years, or whenever your helmet is compromised due to a hit or fall

The overwhelming majority opinion is CPSC rated cheap helmets protect just as well.
