We take on those big objectives with the Smith Mission MIPS Helmet. Built with the MIPS impact system, this helmet redirects energy during impact to reduce rotational forces and add protection in the more→case of a crash. The EPS foam interior and polycarbonate shell exterior work together to help protect and fend off low hanging branches or hard packed snow. Adjustable ventilation allows for airflow to cool off the interior of the helmet, but can also be closed off during especially cold days when that extra warmth is wanted. If the day does get too warm, the ear pads can be removed in order to dump extra heat and allow for additional climate control.

We can stay upright at messy race starts and expertly dodge stray pebbles, but who knows what rush-hour motorists will do, so we strap on the Express Helmet before commuting to work. With an in-mold c more→onstruction, this dome protector keeps it low profile for a streamlined look while riding around town. As we pedal home after dark, the chinstraps' reflective stitching increases our visibility.

From big sweeping berms to gnarly rock gardens, the Smith Engage MIPS Helmet delivers lightweight comfort and protection for our everyday trail adventures. 20 massive vents and AirEvac technology ensu more→re that we don't overheat due to hot air trapped under our helmet, while MIPS and strategically placed zonal Koroyd help protect our domes if we go over the bars. An adjustable dial lets us lock in our perfect fit without developing annoying pressure points and we can even rock our favorite goggles thanks to the dual position visor.

Style meets ventilation for total comfort in all-mountain applications in the new Smith Session MIPS Helmet. This all-new cranium coverage keeps your noggin on lockdown with a combination of Smiths Ko more→royd technology and MIPS, shielding you from impacts both direct and oblique, so you can charge through rowdy rock gardens while staying ventilated as you weave your way through technical switchbacks to the top for round two. And Smith doesn't hold back on the good looks either, with a modern and sleek style that falls neatly between the previously loved Rover and Forefront, giving just a little more coverage than its cross-country cousin, but with less bulk than the enduro-ready Forefront.

Even when our hair's soaked in sweat from the skintrack, BCA's BC Air Helmet still feels great to put on for the downhill, and we even don't mind wearing it for quick hot laps back up again. There are more→over thirty ventilation holes to keep us cool and collected whether we're heading up or down. We also appreciate the helmet's ultralight weight on tours, and the removable ears assist with compact packability.
