Smith Optics Vantage 2

The hybrid construction blends a hard ABS shell for impact resistance in high-wear areas with an in-molded shell to reduce overall weight. This design gives you the durability of a traditional hard-shell helmet without the heavy, bulky feel.

While the helmet is specifically engineered for seamless integration with Smith goggles to optimize the AirEvac ventilation system, it is compatible with most major goggle brands. However, you may experience the best anti-fog performance when pairing it with Smith eyewear.

MIPS is designed to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact, while the Koroyd material provides advanced energy absorption that is more breathable than traditional foam. Together, they offer a comprehensive safety system that protects against both direct and rotational impacts.

Yes, the Regulator climate control system is designed with a low-profile slider on the top of the helmet. It is easy to operate with gloved hands, allowing you to quickly open or close the vents as conditions change throughout the day.

Yes, the Ionic+ antimicrobial lining is removable and washable. This is a significant advantage for maintaining hygiene, especially if you tend to sweat during high-exertion backcountry tours or warm spring days.

The BOA 360 system provides a continuous, wrap-around fit rather than just tightening at the back of the head. This creates a more uniform, secure hold that eliminates pressure points and prevents the helmet from shifting during aggressive riding.
