Description
The Smith Vantage MIPS Helmet is a top choice for all-mountain skiers and snowboarders who demand elite performance, high durability, and ultimate temperature control. Designed to handle intense weather and tough terrain, it mixes heavy-duty protection with lightweight comfort so you can ride hard all day long.
Here is why its key features make it one of the best helmets available:
-
Koroyd® Energy Absorption: Standard foam helmets can trap heat and offer limited impact absorption. The Vantage uses Koroyd® technology—a honeycomb-style layer made of thousands of tiny co-polymer tubes. These tubes crush instantly on impact to absorb significantly more energy while keeping the helmet light and breathable.
-
AirEvac™ Anti-Fog System: Lens fogging ruins your vision and ruins your ride. Smith’s AirEvac™ system acts like a built-in vacuum. It pulls warm, humid air out from top of your goggles and channels it through the helmet vents to guarantee clear, fog-free vision.
-
MIPS® Rotational Brain Protection: Angled impacts are common in real-world falls. The integrated MIPS® system adds a low-friction inner layer that slides slightly during a crash, helping redirect dangerous rotational forces away from your brain.
-
Hybrid Shell Construction: The helmet combines a tough ABS hard shell on top to resist scratches and heavy bumps with a lightweight in-mold lower body. This keeps the helmet super durable without feeling heavy on your head.
-
Dual Regulator Climate Control: Featuring 21 total vents, the Vantage lets you easily adjust airflow on the fly. Two separate glove-friendly switches allow you to open or close the front and back vents independently so you can dump heat on spring days or seal out wind during cold storms.
Complete with a BOA® 360 Fit System that tightens evenly around your whole head for a custom, pressure-free fit and audio-compatible ear pads, the Vantage delivers complete comfort and top-tier protection.
