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.

The Vision Helmet is Black Diamond's most durable foam helmet for climbing, and this Vision MIPS Helmet adds a Multi-directional Impact Protection System for an even greater level of safety. The Visio more→n also has an updated design to the innovative hybrid construction that climbers have been enjoying for seasons.

For those unfamiliar, spherical technology is a brain-child of Bell + Giro Dome in partnership with MIPS. The unique ball-and-socket design, thankfully, is easy to conceptualize. The Helios Spherical is a Progressive Layering system with an inner and an outer liner that can rotate around each other in an impact.

Smith equipped t more→his helmet with a Multi-directional Impact Protection System and Hybrid SL shell to help provide lightweight, mapped protection based on anticipated impact when we're playing in the mountains.

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 …

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.
