Which Helmet is the best?

Ive got a pair of Oakley Crowbars and need a new helmet.

Thinking either the Smith Holt or Maze.
Do Crowbars fit well with these helmets, any other suggestions?

Cheers

I like poc helmets better than smith. Both the helmets you picked are good, just try them on and pick the one that fits the best.

Crowbars fit nicely with all helmets in my experience.

POC! I love my receptor bug, worth the money for sure. I use crowbars with mine and they fit perfectly.

I have the smith maze and its like incredibly light weight. You don't even feel it on your head and its super comfortable also.

In terms of safety, any helmet will do. they all have to pass the same safety standards.

its just a case of what one you think looks best!

yeah, but some exceed the safety standards by a lot while others barely meet them...

POC is also one of the only helmets that's certified for multiple impacts (correct me if im wrong)....

POC makes great helmets. I rock the Receptor Bug and love it. All of my pairs of Crowbars have worked well. The only downside is that I have a huge ass head, so my head looks big, but I feel a sense of reassurance with a POC. Definitely worth the money. Also, I have found that POC and Smith have pretty different fits.
