Smith's road helmet lineup has never been one to disappoint, and this year is no different, with the bar being moved a little higher once again with a new helmet in the mix — the Trace MIPS Helmet. Th more→is pinnacle helmet in the road collection features all of the tech you would expect from Smith, like its Koroud protection that fully surrounds the helmet to provide next-level protection, while teaming up with internal air channels so intake as much air, and keep your scalp feeling cool when you're challenging yourself up new climbs, and soaring down canyon roads.

We also appreciate the helmet's ultralight weight on tours, and the removable ears assist with compact packability.

Since that time, we've been patiently waiting for Kask to bring the helmet to the market for us mere mortals. The team that's known for its obsession with marginal gains once again makes—ahem—headway in helping design a product that in the end, we all benefit from. Kask engineers carefully shaped the profile of the Valegro's polycarbonate shell and verified the results in the wind tunnel, creating exceptional cooling performance and heat exchange, the perfect recipe for …

We all droop our noggins when we tap out on energy for the day, but to have it be a struggle to keep your head up when in the middle of an epic fresh powder day is just a pain. To alleviate that pain, more→Giro designs the Grid MIPS, which drops heavy, laboring weight to give you a lid with enhanced safety that checks in at only 400 grams. Giro achieves this grin-inducing weight even with the addition of MIPS Spherical, which sees two layers of EPS foam rotating independently during an impact to provide enhanced protection. Giro could have stopped there, but they boosted the creature comforts with Polartec Power Grid padding, removable ear pads, and audio compatibility for Giro systems by Outdoor …
