Review: Smith Engage MIPS Helmet

As someone who's still relatively new to mountain biking, I'll take all the protection I can get. The Smith Engage MIPS Helmet ($150) offers just that, without feeling like I'm hauling around a bowling ball. It's lightweight, well-fitting, and comfortable during long days on the bike. I especially like the adjustable visor, and it pairs well with my long-loved pair of Smith Shift MAG Sunglasses without any awkward overlapping. Mountain biking is no fashion show, but some helmets can leave you feeling a little dorkier than others. Thanks to Smith, this one actually looks pretty good.
