Smith Dispatch MIPS Urban Cycling Helmet Review -feat. Fidlock Buckle + Zonal Koroyd + USB Taillight
Designed to be a premium commuting helmet, Smith’s new Dispatch helmet combines a number of safety features into a sleek urban form factor. The Dispatch retails for $170 and combines a MIPS liner with Smith’s zonal Koroyd technology to further improve the safety of the helmet. The combination of the features means the Smith not only meets standard certifications but also the high-speed NTA-8776 certification which covers higher speed impacts. Despite all the tech, the helmet still weighs only 365g in the medium size and retains a sleek urban profile with vents. Some of the notable premium features are the fully finished shell, removable rear taillight and a magnetic Fidlock strap which improves usability.
The Smith Dispatch helmet not only has a catchy urban inspired name but it also has a sleek urban helmet profile. That means you have an extended rear profile and a durable dome shape that’s designed to withstand daily commuting. Unlike the Thousand Chapter MIPS or Bern Hudson helmets which feature front visors, the Dispatch has molded a slight bulge into the front of the helmet which Smith calls a micro brim visor. Smith offers the helmet in five matte color options currently: amethyst (purple), slate, white, black and our favorite poppy (orange) which we have in this review. It is a very bright and distinct color which ensures other riders and vehicles won’t overlook you on the road. The Smith Dispatch has a two piece shell with a colored upper portion and a gray bottom accent that wraps around the rim of the helmet for a premium look. There is minimal branding with Smith only printed along the edges.
As with many urban helmets, ventilation is limited to eight total vents with rectangular side vents and top vents. Smith has also incorporated their AirEvac ventilation system which consists of vents along the front rim of the helmet that connect to the two horizontal front vents inside the helmet. This creates a low pressure region that helps suck air away from sunglasses to prevent them from fogging up. You’ll notice that it’s difficult to see through the vents from the outside of the helmet as there is zonal Koroyd instead of open slots. This is a honey-comb style structure that allows airflow through it as well as additional rotational and direct impact absorption. A black MIPS liner can also be found on the inside of the helmet with plush Ionic antimicrobial padding Velcro attached to it.
