Smith Liberty Mips

The hybrid shell combines a durable hard-shell exterior for impact resistance with an in-mold construction to keep the overall weight low. This gives you the protection of a heavier helmet without the neck fatigue during long days on the mountain.

These two systems work together to handle different types of impact. The Mips layer allows the helmet to slide slightly during angled impacts to reduce rotational forces, while the KOROYD material is designed to crush upon impact to absorb energy more efficiently than traditional foam.

Yes, the Snapfit SL2 ear pads are audio-compatible. You can easily remove the pads to insert most standard drop-in audio chips.

The Liberty Mips features Smith's AirEvac ventilation system, which is specifically designed to integrate with Smith goggles. This alignment helps pull warm, moist air away from your goggles and out through the helmet vents to prevent fogging.

It uses the VaporFit Snow system, which provides 270 degrees of adjustment. You can easily tighten or loosen the fit with a dial at the back, allowing you to customize the tension around your head for a secure feel.

Yes, the Ionic+ antimicrobial liner is removable. It is designed to resist odor buildup, but you can take it out to wash it whenever needed to keep the helmet fresh.
