Smith Holt Helmet

Love this helmet
October 26, 2011

Helmet is awesome. Fits almost any goggles and looks great. If you looking for something that will go with just about anything this one is for you. Like the different colors as well on it. Make it look unique when your out there on the hill!!

Wonderful helmet!

This is an awesome helmet, fits so well, very comfortable, ventilation helps a lot, actually I feel it is too cold sometimes. Ear covers make ears toasted after 20 minutes activity then you can remove it. There's a goggle strap holder and it is compatible with most goggles. Another great gear from Altrec!

This helmet is perfect.

This helmet is perfect. Fits great with Prodigys and it even fits my massive noggin. I had the Bad Lieutenant, and it was too bulky for my head. I enjoyed it until I found this one

Wheres the audio?

This helmet came quickly in the mail (3 days)! I was shocked with the weight of the package, very light! You can barely tell it the difference from a light bike helmet. The medium fit perfectly (57.7 cm hat size) Very glossy... not too much rasta splatter either, and looks semi durable. The air vent system you read about on this helmet apparently is non- existent, looks like you better bring some tape on a really cold day. I don't know what to do with the extra pads... THERE ARE NO HEADPHONES INCLUDED. I think you need to buy them separately, which must have been why the helmet was so cheap!

this is a great helmet.

this is a great helmet. I have never been one to rock a helmet, but recently i took a dig and bumped my head pretty good, so this season i decided to pick one up. the helmet fits great on my huge dome

Great affordable helmet!

The Smith Holt helmet is a great and affordable helmet! It's very comfortable and light. Goggles clip in very easily. Nice surprise to get the summer pad kit included in the box!

Great!

Helmet shipped fast, was dirty and a little beat up. I would have sent back for a new one but I was in need of it asap. Cleaned off with product and looked like new. Speakers are great- loud enough to hear even when going fast and in wind. Used in snow storm and was able to hear perfectly! LOVE IT

Solid Beginner Helmet
January 10, 2011

This was my first snowboarding helmet I've owned, second I've worn. I bought it because it was cheap and fit my head very well. I've owned lots of other non-snowboarding helmets and I've learned that a helmet fit is a very personal thing, so it's best to try on helmets before you buy. I have a strange sized head, the back of my head is large compared with the rest of my head, so it's hard for me to find helmets that fit, but the Holt felt very snug on my head. I've worn a helmet with a plastic adjuster that change the fit of the helmet for different head sizes. I don't like such plastic adjusters because the plastic is very uncomfortable against the skin, especially in the cold. Thankfully, the Holt doesn't have one of those. However, that also means that you should definitely make sure it fits well before you buy. I tried the helmet on in a store before I bought it online on Altrec. The rim of the helmet allows ample room for goggles and there's a nice goggle strap holder in the back of the helmet. On the top of the helmet, there are some vents, but the ventilation is mediocre. The ear covers are removable, so you can wear the helot in the summer. The attachments for the ear covers and the removable helmet liner don't look to sturdy, makes me wonder how long they will last. Overall, I'm satisfied with the helmet and would recommend. The most important thing for me is fit and comfort and this helmet is great in both categories, although the fit really depends on your own head. The ventilation and durability aren't stellar, but certainly good enough for a beginner helmet at a low price. I would definitely recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a solid beginner helmet with the best bang for your buck.

Overall a good helmet. Only issue has been with the ear flaps and their ability to stay fixed to helmet.

This is the first snowboard helmet I have purchased so I didn't really know what I was looking for. After trying on numerous helmets the Holt was the obvious choice. It fits well and has ample ventilation to keep cool. I was expecting to to buy one size larger than I did so I am glad I decided to try them on in the store first.

Great helmet.

Great helmet. The lining is so nice I usually don't wear a beanie or 'clava and I still stay warm. Fits perfectly with the Oakley Splice goggle. i'm not certain it is the most ideal fit, but most any goggle will fit with any smith helmet.

Nice all around helmet
December 16, 2009

Fits well with oakley stockholm goggles. Does not have venting options like other helmets but still provides some air flow if you get too hot. You can always take off the ear pads quickly if the heat becomes a problem.

Nice helmet - value for money
March 01, 2010

it is a basic helmet but nice enough and very light weight. No bells and whistles but well made and comfortable.

Great helmet/great price
November 12, 2012

Bob Marley might not have fit the dreds in this bucket, but it fits normal head hair like a glove...just what you need at a price that is just right! Finish on the helmet is well done...as are the graphics.

excellent helmet , comfort and fits perfect

Great Helmet
March 29, 2010

I got the Holt in white and love the way it looks. I also have the Hustle and that thing looks super wide from the front. It's a more comfortable fit than the Holt. But it just looks huge. I have have an XL head though so that may be why. The Holt looks good even on my big dome.

Protect your nugget!!

Great style, excellant comfort and fits really well with smith goggles. (the vents on the lip on the front line up with smith googles output vents and stops your googles from steaming up). Great lining on the inside too. None of these rubbish bicycle foam pads the you commonly see. Would fully recommend these. the only small issue I had was teh liner on the inside is only attached with small bands of velcro. But besides that you will def have a really good buy with this helmet.

Helmet worked for me
April 03, 2011

This helmet fit my usually large head, this was the 3rd one I tried after not being able to find any where I live that were big enough. The helmet was comfortable, and fit well, and kept my head warm while skiing. I would recommend this helmet!

The purchase was very good, good service, I had no problem in paying online in your website. I like the design, but lacks a bit of ventilation, I had to remove the ear covers.

October 13, 2010

Great fit, very light and vents well. Sits well on head with goggles. I just started wearing helmets and am not ashamed with the look. It looks great and doesn't feel like you're wearing a huge mushroom on your head. Nice helmet!

Great Helmet!
January 06, 2011

Used it for my first time the other day on the slopes and it was great! It vents well and my ANON goggle fit it perfectly. I had to switch out the padding in the helmet because it was a bit too loose for my small head. I might have been able to go with a size small, but I was right on the edge. With the thicker padding though, it fits just right. Great helmet, keeps my head and ears warm, and works great!!

constant head hug

While I've only worn the helmet twice, there's no going back for me. It's a snug -not too tight- fit, comfortable and warm around the ears, and has good ventilation. Kept me feeling safe whizzing through the trees!

Not adjustable
December 31, 2012

So what's the point of giving a size range for a helmet (58-60cm# when there is no way to adjust the fit of the helmet? The helmet is good if it fits you right out of the box, but there is no way to tweak it as I suppose most of us don't have the same head size as some plastic mold. But if you aren't part crash test dummy, you'll need to tweak the size, but there's no option to do so which other helmets in the price range have. The other downsize is that the goggle strap holder doesn't really want to grab tight. If you fall on the side and the snow drags the goggle stap your goggles will fly right off the back of the helmet. Makes you look really dorky after already suffering from a wipeout. I wish there was a top lock to keep the goggles in place. I really want to like the helmet, it's warm and light with a design I don't see anyone else on the slopes riding with #better than the Red helmets) so friends can easilly spot you in the lift line. Other Smith helmets are good, but I really just don't like this one.

Smith: Holt Helmet
December 26, 2012

For a young man beginner skier. He fell a lot. Though paint got scrapped a little no dents or any damages to the helmet itself. Helmet fits comfortably and protects well. Good value, especially with the summer alternative package. Altrec.com had the best price with the most size choices.

I like it!!!

Best purchase!
November 30, 2009

Best purchase! My first ski helmet. Surprisingly, didn't bother me at all to use. Felt good for both skiing and boarding. Really protected my head when I fell on my board. My head did get a little hot/itchy, but not too badly. Overall nice looks, nice fit, great price
