Description
Go Light, Go Far: Triple-Certified Protection for Backcountry & Beyond – Available at Salty Peaks Snowboard Shop
For the ambitious, weight-conscious adventurer who demands uncompromised safety from skin track to summit bids, the Smith Summit MIPS Helmet is your ultimate companion. Available now at Salty Peaks Snowboard Shop in Millcreek, Utah, this helmet is meticulously designed for backcountry touring, ski mountaineering, and all-mountain exploration, blending minimalist design with maximum protection.
The Summit MIPS helmet features a Hybrid Shell Construction, blending a durable exterior (ABS) with a lightweight in-molded shell (polycarbonate) for durability where it’s needed most while keeping overall weight down. It integrates Zonal KOROYD® coverage, a revolutionary crumple-zone material that absorbs energy more efficiently and with less volume than traditional EPS foam, providing advanced impact protection. This is combined with the MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) Brain Protection System, which significantly reduces rotational forces to the brain from angled impacts by allowing a subtle rotation of the helmet’s outer shell relative to the liner.
What truly sets the Summit apart is its Triple Certification (ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2007 CLASS B, EN 12492). This means it meets global alpine ski certifications, international mountaineering standards, and is specifically designed for ski touring and mountaineering, offering peace of mind across diverse and demanding terrain.
Designed for efficiency on the ascent and confidence on the descent, the Summit features a Smith x BOA® 360 Fit System. This micro-adjustable dial fit system provides a precise, premium fit, and uniquely, it collapses into the helmet for ultra-easy stuffing into your pack. 33 fixed vents work in conjunction with Smith’s AirEvac™ ventilation system to actively pull warm, fog-causing air away from your goggles and keep your head cool during strenuous climbs.
Additional features cater to the backcountry enthusiast: integrated headlamp strap routing keeps your light securely in place for dawn patrols or dusk descents, and elastic side tethers offer convenient external pack attachment. A lightweight, technical knit liner is included for comfort, and the helmet is beanie and ball cap compatible, allowing you to adapt to varying conditions.
Salty Peaks Snowboard Shop has been serving the Utah shred community since 1987, understanding the unique needs of backcountry exploration. The Smith Summit MIPS Helmet is a testament to cutting-edge design for those who venture beyond the ropes, offering uncompromised protection and thoughtful features for every mountain objective.
