Smith Optics Vantage Helmet

The MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the shell to slide slightly during an angled impact. This movement helps redirect rotational forces away from your head, which can significantly reduce the risk of brain injury compared to a standard helmet.

Yes, the Vantage features a dual regulator climate control system designed specifically for on-the-fly use. You can easily open or close the vents with one hand, even while wearing thick ski gloves, to manage your temperature as conditions change throughout the day.

The Vantage is designed with Smith's AirEvac ventilation system, which is optimized to integrate seamlessly with Smith goggles to pull warm, moist air away from the lens and prevent fogging. While it is engineered for a perfect fit with Smith eyewear, its shape is generally compatible with most major goggle brands.

Unlike basic fit systems that only tighten at the back of the head, the BOA 360 system wraps around your entire head. This provides a more uniform, secure fit that eliminates pressure points and ensures the helmet stays stable and comfortable all day.

Yes, the XT2 lining is designed to be removable and washable. It also features sweat-activated odor control, which helps keep the helmet fresh even after long, active days on the mountain.

The Vantage is compatible with Aleck audio systems. You can easily drop in compatible speakers to the ear pads, allowing you to listen to music or communicate with your group without needing to wear earbuds under your helmet.
