| Shock absorption by SMITH-ventilated, lightweight cycle helmets-for high and low impact moments. Fully integrate with sunglasses (and snow version with goggles)...the Forefront and road race worthy Overtake -maximum ventilation+aero-dynamics-best in class protection AEROCORE™ construction featuring Koroyd-less EVA foam-seance lightweight and anti-concussion MIPS inserts available (extra $). IMO-At $220-$250 def on higher end of helmets but living in NYC-seen so many serious (fatal) bike collisions...crazy not to make that investment. |
