Smith's Signal MIPS Helmet delivers pro-level p more→rotection and features in a package much better suited to the bike paths of our hometown loops. With 21 vents to draw air through the helmet, we can stay cool and comfortable, and arrive to work without too much of a helmet hair effect. The vents also help prevent fogging when we're wearing our fastest sunglasses that sit close to the helmet's edge. Smith uses their VaporFit system, which has a dial and allows for up, down, fore, and aft movement for your perfect fit. A well-fitting helmet is a …

Whether we're climbing that winding, windy mountain pass or busting out miles on a hot summer day, the Ventral Air MIPS Helmet keeps us cool with a whole host of ventilation ports that enhance airflow more→for our ride.
