Smith Optics Icon Mips Helmet

While the Icon Mips is built to FIS racing standards, it is essentially a high-performance helmet designed for anyone who prioritizes maximum protection. It is heavier and more rigid than standard recreational helmets, so keep in mind that it is optimized for speed and impact safety rather than all-day comfort for casual resort cruising.

The helmet is compatible with slalom chin guards, but the guard itself is sold separately. You will need to purchase the specific Smith slalom chin guard designed to integrate with the Icon shell.

The Fidlock buckle uses a magnetic slide mechanism that is designed to be operated with one hand, even while wearing gloves. It snaps into place automatically and slides open easily, which is a significant improvement over traditional pinch-style buckles.

KOROYD is a honeycomb-like material that crumples instantly upon impact to absorb energy more efficiently than traditional EPS foam. By using it for full coverage, the helmet provides consistent protection across the entire shell rather than just in specific zones.

The Icon Mips is designed with a specific profile to integrate with performance race goggles. While most goggles will fit, you will get the best airflow and vision integration if you pair it with Smith's race-specific goggle models.

The lining is designed to resist odor buildup, but you can remove it for washing. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and letting it air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet.
