Smith Optics Mission MIPS Helmet

The MIPS Brain Protection System is designed to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact. It allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to your head, which helps dissipate energy that would otherwise be transferred to your brain.

Zonal Koroyd is a honeycomb-like material integrated into specific impact zones of the helmet. It is designed to crush upon impact, absorbing more energy than traditional foam construction while maintaining excellent airflow.

Yes, the Regulator climate control system features an easy-to-use slider on the top of the helmet. It is designed to be operated quickly, even with gloves on, so you can adjust your airflow as conditions change throughout the day.

The Mission MIPS is designed with Smith's AirEvac ventilation system, which specifically aligns with Smith goggles to pull warm, moist air away from the lens. While it is optimized for Smith goggles, the shape is generally compatible with most standard goggle brands.

Yes, the ear pads are removable. This helps with temperature regulation during warmer spring skiing or if you prefer a less enclosed feel.

The helmet uses an adjustable dial fit system at the back. You should tighten it until the helmet feels snug and secure without creating pressure points, ensuring it doesn't shift when you shake your head.
