Smith Vantage MIPS Ski Helmet

THE BEST SKI HELMET.

REVIEWED BY: Devon Scovill

The Smith Vantage Ski and Snowboard Helmet offers sleek styling, a lightweight shell, incredible fit and an advanced impact absorption technology. It fits better than any helmet around, and we can say that with confidence, and feature-wise Smith goes all-out in creating, essentially, the perfect ski helmet. MIPS (Multi-Impact Protection System) allows the helmet shell and liner to move independently of each other which reduces the rotational force transferred to the head in the case of a skid or glancing blow to the helmet. Hybrid L shell construction combines the advantages of super light in-mold construction with a bombproof injection molded ABS outer shell. The Boa 360 fit system is ergonomically contoured, and the dial lets you adjust the fit on the fly. Finally, two separate sets of vents allow you to retain heat for bitter January pow days, and promote the flow of air when you open them up in the spring to get some fresh air to your dome.
