Smith Convoy vs Lazer Blade Bike Helmet

The Smith Convoy - Medium makes for a good, if unremarkable, Bike Helmet for people with a $50 budget.

The Lazer Blade - Small, however, is merely mediocre at its $129 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $50 and $170 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
