The Smith Trace is a road and gravel helmet built around Smith's Koroyd tubes plus MIPS rotational protection. It has 18 vents, an AirEvac ventilation path that pulls warm air off the brow, and side channels that hold Smith sunglasses when you take them off mid-ride. It suits riders who want one helmet for fast road days and gravel or light trail rides. Against rivals, it is lighter and better ventilated than most all-round helmets but costs more than basic MIPS lids and lacks the adjustable visor some gravel riders want.

Owners rate the Trace highly, praising its light weight, strong ventilation on long climbs and the secure sunglass storage. Complaints are mostly about the price and the lack of a visor.
The Smith Trace MIPS Bike Helmet is built for riding on gravel, road and singletrack. It combines Koroyd protection with MIPS technology in the protective shell.
18 vents are placed to keep air flowing on climbs. The AirEvac ventilation system helps keep Smith sunglasses fog-free. When the glasses are off, they store in the helmet's side channels.
