Full Review: The new Camber helmet by Smith is so light you almost forget your wearing it...
This past spring I was given the new Camber by Smith to product test and was immediately impressed with its lightweight comfort. While I didn't exactly crash test it, I trust that Smith has taken this aspect very seriously and has years of experience making safe, comfortable, and stylish helmets.
Ultra light in-mold construction is somewhat unique in strength to weight ratio. With over 20 vents & Airvac 2 ventilation, your noggin stays just warm enough and is comfy and safe. DFS2 - Adjustable dial fit system is a Boa inspired system that functions identically. Low profile regulator adjustable climate control makes it easy to open and close venting on the go.
I would recommend the Smith Camber to anyone looking to upgrade to a lighter, high performance switch-vented helmet.
"The Good" List: Lightweight, but stout. Streamlined and sleek in appearance with superior fit & comfort. The best helmet ventilation system out there, with over 20 vents! Excellent goggle integration design.
"The Not so Good List": While nice looking, the ultra light outer shell dings fairly easily...
The Bottom Line: A great gift for any serious skier... Available today at Next Adventure.
