WTB Smith Vantage - Size large
My old Giro G10 is ready for retirement. Thinking about upgrading to a newer Smith Vantage (large).

I've got a medium I'm willing to part with. I think they run big. Medium is stated to fit a 55-59 cm head. Let me know if you think that would work. $75 and I'll even throw in shipping.

I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately I have tried on the medium and will need a large bucket for my dome.

I've got an older large Variant Brim (5ish years) that's still in good shape. Adjustment straps on the back are finicky but still work. Black with white markings (similar to pic below)
Yours for $25+shipping. I'll get actually pics of my helmet if interested.

I have a large black.
Couple years old, before they started using whatever that green stuff is inside. Used maybe 5 days.
Does it need to be current year model for you?

Thanks all, sorry for the delay. OP the helmet doesn't need to be the newest model. PM sent

I just bought a new Smith Vantage, size L and wore it on Saturday. They've modified the liner system since my last helmet and this one has a plastic strap around the base of the liner that you want to look out for. It snaps into the shell and creates a bump where it rests on my forehead. It was really uncomfortable and wound up leaving a lump on my forehead where it rubbed. The shell appears to be identical to the older models but this is a new 'feature'. Anybody else experience this?
I may be selling this helmet if I can't get this liner situation worked out. I think I have it resolved but haven't tried it yet, waiting for the sore spot on my forehead to diminish. If you're interested, let me know. I may be willing to sell it by this time next week. This is the helmet (Matte Gunmetal)

That suck when you get new gear and it doesn't work as expected. Hopefully your modifications fixes the issue.
I was able to pick up an older model, pre koroyd, from Optics.
