Smith Nexus MIPS Helmet

The hybrid shell combines a durable, hard-shell exterior for impact resistance with a lightweight, in-mold construction. This gives you the best of both worlds: a helmet that is tough enough to handle daily wear and tear while remaining light enough to wear comfortably all day.

Koroyd is a honeycomb-like material that replaces traditional foam in key impact zones. It is designed to crumple instantly upon impact, which absorbs significantly more energy than standard EPS foam while allowing for better airflow.

Yes, the Nexus features an adjustable 24-vent system designed for easy manipulation. You can open or close the vents quickly, even with gloves on, to regulate your temperature as conditions change throughout the day.

Unlike basic rear-dial systems that only push against the back of your head, the BOA 360 system wraps around your entire head. This provides a more uniform, secure fit that eliminates pressure points and prevents the helmet from sliding.

Yes, the liner is designed to be removable and washable. It is also treated to be sweat-wicking and odor-fighting, which helps keep the interior fresh even after long, active days on the mountain.

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a low-friction layer inside the helmet. It allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to your head during an angled impact, which helps reduce the rotational forces that are often responsible for concussions.
