Smith Forefront 2 Helmet Review
We recently got our dirty little mitts on the new Smith Forefront 2 Helmet for a review. Read on to find out what we think and how it performed.
Smith Forefront 2 Review
The award-winning Smith Forefront 2 helmet is the second iteration of the Forefront series. The helmet offers complete impact protection all around thanks to both the MIPS and complete Koroyd systems.
The helmet was designed to work with glasses and goggles with vents that not only keep your head cool but prevent goggles from steaming up. The helmet has a slot allowing you to mount your glasses to it for secure storage when not wearing.
The helmet has 20 vents and excellent airflow all over. The padding covers all the key points making for a comfortable helmet and has a ratchet adjuster for a perfect fit.
The Smith Forefront 2 is an incredibly comfortable helmet. After many hours of continuous riding and weeks of testing, I can safely say this is one of the best helmets I’ve had the pleasure of testing. The helmet fits snuggly and securely whilst remaining comfortable. The adjustability of the straps, internal fasteners, and ratchet means I can get the perfect fit for my size and shape.
Although I have not had to test an impact to the head with this helmet yet and hopefully not in the future either (knock on wood), I am confident that I am in the best of hands. The Forefront 2 features both MIPS and Koroyd systems which have been thoroughly tested. The helmet also comes CPSC and CE EN 1078 certified.
