Per title, I came across the Smith Jetstream today and am curious if anyone has rode in it yet or knows the data behind it.
Looks like some bigger vents and a longer tail vs the Podium.
New Jetstream
Old Podium
To the naked eye, that looks a lot more in line with some of the more aero helmets. Data needed, and of course very athlete specific.
Looks like a good option since the Rudy Project is out of stock. I’ve been looking for a new aero helmet, may have to give this a shot.
reminds me of some of the Ekoi’s I’ve had through the tunnel. or a cross between a specialized and a Limar
I like the look of this helmet…I too am interested in aero data.

So would you recommend it then? Or should we test? 
I went ahead and placed an order with a 15% discount code from Smith. I like that they include a hard shell case and a clear visor! I don’t have any way of testing, but I can offer up my opinion in comparison to the Giro Vanquish.

Summary of what we have learned from DD over the years about helmets:
(1) Option 1-test
(2) if option 1 is not feasible, buy an Aerohead or RP Wing.
How did you get the discount code? I created an account on their site. Do they eventually email you a code for your first purchase?

Oh for sure - there is hardly anything Brian writes that I don’t just trust. Very tongue in cheek haha
I got an email with the discount code after signing up.
Can I borrow that helmet in March?
Have currently 10-14 people going to the tunnel. Figure I can get a good amount of data on it to add to the brain trust.
If anyone wants to come test, we can do 20-45 min blocks where you just test helmets or just test position and helmets.
Ordered one today with 15% off email code and free shipping from Smith. Have been looking for a while for RP Wing or similar but either out of stock or won’t ship to USA. Smith looks designed like the Adwatt and Codatronca which have had good real world results. I got the two tone color because it looks nice but also comes with smoke and clear lens. The red lense on the black helmet looks great but it’s too bright for most races here in Texas. Hopefully they will offer separately the red lense if ever needed.

Shoot me a private message, I’ll see if I can help!

I’m in Texas as well and got the gloss white with the darkest lens. Figured I’d need all the help I can get keeping cool and the darker lens is better for the never ending six months of summer.
How much is it with the discount?

Curious how hot it feels too vs others. If I recall, wasn’t the Podium pretty toasty?
Mine just arrived today. It’s much lighter than I anticipated, although this is my first true aero helmet (unless the Giro Vanquish counts). The front ventilation looks like it’ll be quite effective. The center vent hole goes straight through to your noggin, while the two vents on either side pass through a honeycomb lattice that directs the air to the sides of your head. The one thing I hate about my Vanquish is the “Zeiss” logo written on the shield that’s always visible when riding. No such branding on the Smith Jetstream, the view is unobstructed. The hard case and extra clear shield are a nice touch.
Would you mind sharing some pics of it with it on your head in the aero position?

Sure thing. These are some stills from a video.
