II've recently bought a Smith Firefront MIPS helmet. I'm loving it, light, breathable and oh so bright!
What I hadn't thought about was that mounting a light would be an issue! Smith do have a mounting system on the helmet, but it requires a specific mount that they make.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a UK supplier of said mount. Has anyone got any ideas where I can acquire one.
Cheers, Chris

Forefront, not firefront

Looking to get a new lid and already have some Smith glasses so this was on my list. When the likes of Lazer include light / camera mounts with the helmet, and the helmet construction means there's no strap-on option, they're losing a £150 sale for the sake of a pence-worth of plastic!

So if you have an exposure light you have to pay approx another 50 quid all in to get it to fit this helmet well. That's pretty shocking!

Shame as it's a fantastic helmet.
