Whether you’re an avid cyclist or recreational biker you need a helmet that’ll keep your noggin safe. Smith offers one of the premier products on the market with their Overtake helmet.

 

The Overtake is specially designed to be aerodynamic while also protecting your head as effectively as possible. The helmet is padded with Koroyd co-polymer tubes that absorb up to 30 percent more of an impact in the event of an accident than traditional ESP foam. They’re also hollow, allowing air to flow freely through them to help increase your speed.

 

The helmet is also extremely lightweight at only 250 grams. It comes with an integrated skeletal system and carbon fiber reinforcements to help protect you upon impact, along with an adjustable fit system to wrap comfortably around your head.

Some colors are also equipped with a MIPS Brain Protection System. MIPS systems add a low friction layer between the liner and shell of the helmet to help reduce rotational forces on the brain during an angled impact. It helps keep your brain from getting squished, basically.

 

The Overtake adds 21 vents to help keep you cool while you’re racing down the road and has a nifty sunglass integration system.

 

It also comes in more than 10 different colors to choose from. The helmet currently retails online for $250. Learn more at smithoptics.com.
