evo.com | Smith Helmets > You get the best of two worlds with the hybrid construction of the Smith Variance Helmet - tough hard shell construction on the top where the helmet takes some invariable knocks, and lighter energy absorbing in-mold construction in the lower. The Variance delivers the same type of high tech protection as the more expensive Vantage, but at a much lower price point. If you can live with slightly less adjustability in the fit and airflow departments, this is the helmet for you. Smith x BOA | Smith Variance Helmet 2019
