Excellent productsl
I wear a size 7 1/2 hat the XL fits perfect with plenty of room for adjustment. As a sidenote, I’ve been in the ski industry for over 60 years. I’ve been a big fan of Smith products sent to company was founded. !!!

A nice upgrade with good audio compatibility
This was an upgrade from a prior different firm model that wasn't MIPS, and a bit uncomfortable (usable, but not great. ) This model addressed that (more comfortable), has MIPS, and also has decent audio compatibility (the other did too, but insertion and removal was a pain -- this one's easy with the cross zip in the back. ) Durability of the liner and such is unknown as its too new, but we'll see on that. I do very much like the control over ventilation with the slider on top and that was on my prior helmet as well; I consider that a must since I ski in both extremely cold and warmer conditions and it makes a large difference. Done for the year now, but I'll be using it next season as well.
