Why We Like The Trace MIPS Helmet
Smith's road helmet lineup has never been one to disappoint, and this year is no different, with the bar being moved a little higher once again with a new helmet in the mix — the Trace MIPS Helmet. This pinnacle helmet in the road collection features all of the tech you would expect from Smith, like its Koroud protection that fully surrounds the helmet to provide next-level protection, while teaming up with internal air channels so intake as much air, and keep your scalp feeling cool when you're challenging yourself up new climbs, and soaring down canyon roads. The Trace features 18 large vents that are strategically placed to create an intake and exhaust system, pulling cool air in, and giving it a quick escape in the back. And because those long rides also mean varying lighting conditions, Smith builds the Trace with an AirEvac system that works to keep your shades fog-free while riding, and vents that neatly secure your glasses when you need to take them off after dusk falls.

Protect you noggin!
I refuse to buy a helmet without the MIPS technology. You only get one brain. I will protect it as much as I can. The last thing you want to be worrying about while riding next to a bunch of cars going 25+ MPH, will my helmet protect me if I took a hit, or fall. So if a helmet offers better protection like MIPS...Just pay the extra amount for it! Trace’s AirEvac system relieves hot air that builds up on your eye wear to prevent fogging. Eyewear storage is made easy by channels on the side of the helmet that hold your eyewear in place for those grueling climbs.

While the real reason to buy this helmet is for the superior crash protection and I cannot comment as I have not crashed, I can say after nearly 8-9k miles of use, this helmet is very comfortable. The adjustments are good enough I can easily put a GoPro up top too for those fun descents. Having eyeglass holders integrated is a key for me too as I almost always remove glasses mid-ride. Listen to the podcast on Velonews about how important MIIPS is for crash protection. I love this helmet and definitely recommend to others.
