Smith Summit Mips

This helmet is specifically designed for high-output backcountry touring, meaning it lacks the heavy insulation found in resort-focused helmets. While it is excellent for climbing and active descents, you may find it too cold for lift-serviced skiing on very windy or frigid days.

The Summit Mips features 33 integrated vents, which provide exceptional airflow to regulate your temperature during intense uphill efforts. It is engineered to prevent overheating, making it one of the most breathable options for ski mountaineering.

Yes, the helmet is designed for seamless integration with both goggles and sunglasses. The low-profile shape ensures that eyewear stays in place without creating awkward gaps or pressure points.

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows for a sliding motion during angled impacts. This technology is designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain, providing an extra layer of safety during a crash.

Yes, the Smith Summit Mips is audio-compatible, allowing you to easily integrate your preferred helmet audio system for music or communication on the mountain.

The BOA Flexible Fit System uses a dial at the back of the helmet to provide a precise, micro-adjustable fit. It allows you to quickly tighten or loosen the helmet for a secure feel, even while wearing gloves.
