Why We Like The Mission MIPS Helmet
We take on those big objectives with the Smith Mission MIPS Helmet. Built with the MIPS impact system, this helmet redirects energy during impact to reduce rotational forces and add protection in the case of a crash.
The EPS foam interior and polycarbonate shell exterior work together to help protect and fend off low hanging branches or hard packed snow. Adjustable ventilation allows for airflow to cool off the interior of the helmet, but can also be closed off during especially cold days when that extra warmth is wanted. If the day does get too warm, the ear pads can be removed in order to dump extra heat and allow for additional climate control.

Smith Mission Mips helmet
Excellent fit adjustment feature, lightweight, firm, secure and warming on the ears.

Nice helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was looking at the Vantage because I liked the slightly larger "brim" on it but this was on sale and the price was almost 1/2 of what the Vantage was. My goggles clip in the middle of the strap so I was a bit worried it wouldn't fit in the back clip but there is plenty of room and the clip works just fine. There are plenty of vents and I love having the option to open or close them. I took the ear pads off, which is really easy to do. Some reviewers said the helmet fit was small but I find the sizing to be very similar to all my bicycle helmets, almost a little larger if anything.

Poor fit for me
I have always worm a medium helmet. This one seems a bit small. It also does not fit well with my goggles and let's cold air in onto my forehead.

Great Helmet

Helmet fits well and is comfortable. Seems true to size. Easy to adjust. Comes with all of the modern safety features of a helmet including MIPs and dial adjustment. Also fits well with my Smith Goggles

runs small
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
Based on my measured head circumstance and the size chart I should have been a Medium but the helmet was way too tight, even without any helmet liner or balaclava underneath. Will return. otherwise looks like a quality helmet.

Fits great
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought a month ago and have skied with it once. Fit great right out of the box with a little fine tuning by turning the knob. Kept my noggin warm and like being to open and close the vents depending on conditions. Only knock is its a little harder to hear with this helmet than my old one.

Painful to ears
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Thick ear pads pressed against my ears and became so painful I was constantly trying to loosen the helmet and take it off on the ski lift despite the helmet being on the large side for me, in fact it was probably too large. Seems to run slightly larger than the Giro helmets. Dial to adjust the fit was clunky and very hard to use without gloves, much less with gloves, seems like it'll break. Vents were nice and functioned well. worked well with my smith goggles, I could tell the airflow was increased but some people find that cooler and thus uncomfortable despite improved anti-fogging.
