Smith Vantage Mips Helmet Matte Forest, S

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""Vantage has been my go-to for seasons because it balances protection, airflow, and comfort better than almost anything else I've tried. Mips and Koroyd give me real peace of mind in tight trees, and the adjustable vents make it easy to stay cool on long bootpacks. It fits snug—sizing up has always been the move for me—but once dialed with the BOA, it disappears on my head for the whole day."" We reach for the Smith Vantage Mips Helmet when we want a blend of confidence and comfort on every lap. Smith’s signature integration instantly clicks with our goggles to keep fog at bay, while the hybrid shell and Zonal Koroyd bring a level of protection we trust when navigating everything from groomers to tight glades. With adjustable airflow, we stay warm on the first chair but cool off easily when the sun hits. Then there's the fit—streamlined, low-profile, and fully customizable with the BOA 360 system. We appreciate how it wraps securely without pressure points, and the removable ear pads keep things adaptable for storm days or spring corn. It’s a dialed, dependable helmet built for riders who want performance without the bulk."
