My history with helmets and goggles has been a bumpy road until now. I struggled finding a helmet that was comfortable, had proper placement on my head, and capable of integrating a goggle without issue. The ear pads are extremely comfortable and have no pressure points or cause any type of discomfort. Additionally, the helmet is so light and comfortable that I forgot I was wearing it. I paired the helmet with the Smith Squad goggle and had zero issue with a proper fit. The helmet and goggle placement on my head and face are exactly where they should be. No issues with goggle fogging and helmet vents make for comfortable wearing. I would recommend this helmet to anyone looking for added protection on the mountain.

This is my second Smith helmet, my holt keep my safe for years but a couple big hits this year plus the age of the bucket, figured I should upgrade. I got a big melon and helmet fits fine. I have a different brand of goggle and the fit well, no gap. All in all decent helmet.

After 93 day and counting with this brain bucket, here is my honest review.
The Smith Method was a new helmet to me and I picked it up with my own money after trying on various models at Evo. As someone who always rides with a cranium case, I bounced around between POC, Oakley, Bern, and Sandbox. I struggled to find something low profile, light, all day comfortable, and stylish. This method checks all the boxes.
Right out of the box, the fit is dialed. You feel the helmet sink over your head and feel secure right away. The ease of the size adjustments (click in/ click out) means you can rock a buff, ski mask, or just let the luscious locks breathe in the air while still feeling locked in.
As for comfort: it's super comfortable. Ear pads on or off, you wont feel pinching, pressing, or squeezing anywhere. The Mips system allows for the helmet to move naturally so it doesn't feel like you have a massive helmet attached to your noggin. To me, it feels no different than wearing a bucket hat. Ventilation is also great. Doesn't feel cold on chilly days and warm days the vents do their job excellently.
As for safety, Ive taken some slams with this and so far, so good. Steel, ice, powder, rocks, nothing phases it. Even though this is the most minimal helmet in terms of on head feel, I feel the most safe wearing it because of how locked in and sunk in your head feels.
As for pairing with goggles, This works excellently with smith products or sunnies. Loosen up the back harness a bit if you wanna go goggles under helmet.
Lastly, looks matter. Nobody wants to be Buzz Aldrin in the lift line rocking an astronaut helmet. The method simply isn't that. This is the best looking helmet on the market. Better than the Giro Ledge, Oakley Mod, or POC Fornix.
My only negative is that the chin strip cover has ripped off. This doesn't change performance at all.
Overall: I believe you would be hard pressed to find a better helmet for the money. Get you one: Mips or not. You won't regret it.

Trying to get in contact to exchange helmet

Great helmet!

This helmet wasn't for me! I was trying to find a good MIPS helmet that wasn't over priced but once it came and I tried it on, it didn't feel as high quality as what I wanted and I ultimately decided to get something more adjustable. I bit the bullet on price and exchanged the Method for the Vantage and am super happy with that purchase - use the helmet over this past weekend and it's super comfortable and the vents are awesome. But if price is really your biggest concern, this helmet will do the job.

This helmet has better than typical fit and integration with Smith goggles. My previous helmet is the vantage. This helmet has less features but I like the simplicity and high comfort.

I have a big head, this xxl is perfect, super comfy and stylish!

10/10! Out of all the helmets i've ever owned, this one is by far the most comfortable and best looking.

have taken a few knocks to the dome with the previous method mips and the upgrade to the new formula is worth every penny. added the nunchucks for hands free comms while on the lifts. smith quality and performance has yet to dissapoint
