Brand loyalty isn't really a thing for me, but Smith's customer service got me there.
Last year I made a claim on an original Forefront I bought somewhere dodgy on clearance because the strap had frayed on the retention system. Not only did they accept the warranty claim without question (even though I am pretty sure it was out of warranty) they replaced it with a Forefront 2 MIPs (which is a waaay better helmet, it turns out).
Then last week the nose piece on my glasses broke. I gave them a call and the only questions they asked were for my name and address so they could send a new one.
That's all, thought they deserved some props.
