Why We Like The Ignite MIPS Helmet
Finding the right aero helmet can be a challenge. There are a number of boxes that can be tricky to check, firstly, aerodynamics, then breathability, comfort, fit, and style. The first few may be easy to tick, but many aero helmets are a bit lacking when it comes to the aesthetic department, and result in you resembling a bobblehead or cartoon character. In spite of the challenge in the design department, Smith has pushed beyond the com1petition to deliver a helmet that offers protection, aerodynamics, ventilation, and it looks damn good too, with the Ignite MIPS Helmet. The Ignite is built with Smith's signature Aerocore in-mold construction, combing a hard polycarbonate shell with EPS foam, and Koroyd material that keeps ventilation a priority, while adding something to the protection game with a honeycomb structure.

Life Saving
Purchased this helmet a few months ago based on a recommendation. As it turns out, I purchased it about 3 weeks before I was hit by a car that was traveling 60mph while cycling. Throughout my 5 weeks in the hospital, the doctors said that the helmet saved my life. I owe my life to the quality of this helmet. I’ll be a Smith customer for life.
