This Vantage is a great all-around helmet, featuring Aerocore technology that adds structure and protection without reducing ventilation.
The latest iteration of Smith's great I/O goggle series, the I/0 7 makes it even easier and quicker to change lenses, and the spherical lenses give you clear, even vision.
No question about it, the Anon magnetic lens attachment system is the coolest we've seen in a long time, making them the easiest to switch on the market. Also available for the ladies here.
