This may be part of the reason some testers prefer similarly-priced options (although non-MIPS) from Smith, which is known to fit other shaped heads better. Take it from a ski shop employee: When people try on the Vantage, their fashion concerns usually end. But scientists have conducted numerous tests on MIPS helmets, dropping them from 2.2-3.1 meters on 45-edges angles onto grinding paper. Ouch.

Smith Scout Helmet - Outdoor and Country

Additionally, everyday reviewers tend to prioritize midwinter performance over airflow. As Outdoor Gear Lab writes, “The Cynic X2 is incredibly warm due to the ability of the blended wool fabric, and eco-smart polyester fleece to retain heat. With a limited number of vents, this helmet works best on those frigid days on the mountain. A few degrees of added warmth can really make or break the enjoyment of your ski day, and the Cynic X2 should keep your head toasty and happy all day.” Each adjustable vent has two separate sliders for maximum temperature control. The adjustable ventilation is the primary feature that set the Vantage apart from the similar Variance, which Smith discontinued. Oh, and you can assure your kiddo that the earpads are removable, helping them keep up with the other members of ski club. You just won’t find a better-venting helmet anywhere. Outside wrote: “There are no fewer than 105 vents-the most on any helmet we’ve ever tested-and they were extremely effective, dumping heat during spring missions in the Siskiyou Mountains.” Coming from someone who wouldn’t be alive to write these words had he not been wearing a ski helmet as a punk high schooler throwing 720s in the terrain park, I say there’s just no reason not to wear one when you ski or snowboard at resorts.PA20, PA21, PA22, PA23, PA24, PA25, PA26, PA27, PA28, PA29, PA30, PA31, PA32, PA33, PA34, PA35, PA36, PA37, PA38, PA41, PA42, PA43, PA44, PA45, PA46, PA47, PA48, PA49, PA60, PA61, PA62, PA63, PA64, PA65, PA66, PA67, PA68, PA69, PA70, PA71, PA72, PA73, PA74, PA75, PA76, PA77, PA78, PA80 Other folks asking the “do I need a ski helmet” question wonder if they or their kid can just wear that trusty bike or skate helmet on the mountain. Short answer: not if you want to guarantee the best protection you can.

Smith Scout Helmet – - Two Seasons

One more design flourish helps give the Vantage the highest marks for safety: Smith’s Hybrid Shell construction. The top of the crown is built with high-impact, rugged ABS hardshell material, a staple of many a skiing helmet on the market. The abs plastic distributes the energy from an impact across the helmet. The Smith Scout is a tough, durable, and well-styled helmet designed for progressive users, with a lifestyle fit system that creates a comfortable fit whether wearing goggles over or underneath. One obvious issue with using a bike helmet or a skate helmet while doing a snow sport is warmth. Road bike, mountain bike, and skate helmets are designed for warmer weather than ski helmets. In real winter weather, you will likely freeze your dome and suffer if you ski in a bike or skate helmet.HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4, HS5, HS6, HS7, HS8, HS9, IV1, IV2, IV3, IV10, IV11, IV12, IV13, IV14, IV15, IV16, IV17, IV18, IV19, IV20, IV21, IV22, IV23, IV24, IV25, IV26, IV27, IV28, IV30, IV31, IV32, IV36, IV40, IV41, IV42, IV43, IV44, IV45, IV46, IV47, IV48, IV49, IV51, IV52, IV53, IV54, IV55, IV56, IV99 In addition to MIPS, some helmet manufacturers have begun to replace standard EPS foam with cellular or honeycomb-like materials like WaveCel (found in Anon helmets) and Koroyd (Smith's solution). These materials have the ability to absorb more energy than EPS, all while minimizing bulk and weight and maximizing ventilation. WaveCel in particular is so adept at absorbing angled impacts and reducing rotational forces that current WaveCel-equipped lids forgo a MIPS liner. Koroyd (via Smith’s Aerocore technology) has become ubiquitous in Smith’s designs (seen in the Vantage, Level, Nexus, and Survey above), and Anon now has three helmets that use WaveCel. You’ll spend up for the extra tech, but many riders will appreciate the added assurance and boost in breathability. Anon's honeycomb-like WaveCel offers impact absorption at a light weight Finally, helmets with an all-season certification (EN 1078) will be of particular interest to freestyle-oriented skiers who spend the warmer half of the year riding bikes, skateboarding, or roller skating. These designs, like the Smith Holt and Scout, are often built with a solid ABS shell that can take a beating on the pavement. Like most snow helmets, they also feature removable ear pads, which is essential for summer use. A few in-mold helmets are also triple-norm certified, including the aforementioned MTN Lab and Summit. Because of their fragile construction we don’t recommend these lids for dedicated use around pavement, but for mountain missions that require a mix of biking, skiing, and climbing, they're without rival.

What we liked: versatility, style, low profile, visor, number of vents, temperature control, adjustable Boa fit, hybrid shell protection, side protection, comfort and fit A MIPS-enabled helmet essentially functions dynamically, offering protection from a wider variety of impacts and multiple angles. A non-MIPS helmet still protects you, but it does so statically and against fewer types of impacts.Construction styles for ski helmets can be broken into three general categories: ABS for the best durability, in-mold for the lightest weight, and hybrid in-mold for a nice compromise between the two. Below we break down the pros and cons of each type and who they're best for. The helmet market includes a mix of ABS, in-mold, and hybrid construction types Founded in 1965 Smith have been at the forefront of innovation for goggles for over 50 years. Developing technologies such as BirdsEye Vision and ChromoPop ™ snow lenses that enhance clarity and natural colour to let you effortlessly see more detail. Entering the snow helmet market in 2006 Smith took goggle-helmet integration to a new level introducing AirEvac and AirEvac2 to enhance active and passive ventilation of the goggle. Koroyd® technology also provides superior impact absorption, design flexibility, and ventilation when compared to materials traditionally used in helmet construction. The Scout has the look and feel you would expect from a hard edged helmet with all the technology and fit that make a Smith helmet stand out. Our Bombshell construction is rugged and durable. Our Lifestyle Fit System provides a perfect fit that keeps your mask in place when you wear it under your helmet. The Scout is specifically designed for progressive users who push the limits and use their tactics. FEATURES:

by slamming your head into something solid while wearing a multi-impact enabled helmet and then doing it again in a regular helmet. That sounds a bit extreme.
