Smith Optics Altus MIPS

The helmet features a regulator climate control system with 10 vents that you can open or close manually. This allows you to dump heat during high-output backcountry climbs or seal the vents to retain warmth on cold, windy lift rides.

The Altus is designed with Smith's AirEvac ventilation system, which is specifically engineered to integrate with Smith goggles to pull warm, fog-causing air away from the lens. While it is optimized for Smith eyewear, the shape is generally compatible with most standard ski and snowboard goggles.

KOROYD is a honeycomb-like structure integrated into the helmet that absorbs more energy upon impact compared to traditional foam alone. It allows for a lighter overall helmet construction while still meeting rigorous safety certifications.

Yes, the ear pads are audio-compatible and removable. You can easily insert most drop-in audio systems into the ear pads to listen to music or take calls while you ride.

The VaporFit system uses a 270-degree dial located at the back of the helmet. By turning the dial, you can incrementally tighten or loosen the internal cradle to get a secure, personalized fit around your head, even while wearing gloves.

The helmet features an Ionic+ antimicrobial lining, which helps manage odor over time. The liner is removable, making it straightforward to take out and wash after a long season or particularly sweaty days.
