Smith Method Mips
Stay safe and comfortable on the slopes thanks to innovative protective technologies and a well-thought-out design.
Experience maximum safety and comfort on the slopes with the Method Mips helmet from Smith. This helmet is ideal for skiers, freeskiers, and snowboarders, offering a combination of innovative safety features and thoughtful design. The lightweight in-mold construction bonds the outer shell to EPS foam, creating a sturdy yet lightweight design that provides the protection you need without weighing you down.
The helmet is equipped with the Mips® Brain Protection System, which reduces rotational forces during oblique impacts and thus enhances protection in the event of a fall. Some color options are also available without Mips®. Zonal KOROYD® technology provides lightweight, energy-absorbing, and well-ventilated protection during impacts. With eight fixed vents and the AirEvac system, optimal air circulation is ensured, preventing your glasses from fogging up.
The self-adjusting “Lifestyle Fit” system ensures a comfortable fit by flexibly adapting to the shape of your head. The helmet is also available in the “Round Contour Fit,” which is ideal for rounder head shapes. The removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads provide extra warmth and are compatible with audio chips, while the removable eyeglass strap attachment allows for a streamlined design when glasses are worn under the helmet.
