SMITH Hardline Carbon MIPS Helmet

The Hardline Carbon is designed for both. Its lightweight carbon fiber construction helps reduce neck fatigue during long days in the saddle, while the 21 ventilation ports provide enough airflow to keep you cool during high-intensity climbing or transfers.

Koroyd is an energy-absorbing material that uses a honeycomb structure to crush consistently upon impact. This allows it to absorb more energy than traditional foam while also being more breathable, which is why this helmet feels less stuffy than other full-face options.

The helmet is engineered for seamless goggle integration, meaning the eyeport shape is designed to accommodate most modern MTB goggles without creating pressure points or gaps. However, if you use oversized goggles, you may want to double-check the fit to ensure the strap sits securely against the shell.

It features an adjustable dial-based fit system at the rear, allowing you to fine-tune the tension around your head. This ensures the helmet stays stable and secure even when you are riding through rough, technical terrain.

No, the MIPS rotational impact protection system is integrated directly into the helmet's liner. It adds negligible weight while providing crucial protection against rotational forces during an angled impact.
