Smith Counter Mips
Advanced ski helmet with MIPS® technology for optimal protection and comfort on every run.
The Smith Counter Mips helmet is the ideal choice for skiers who prioritize safety and comfort. With its advanced ABS construction, it offers enhanced impact protection and exceptional durability. Zonal KOROYD® technology provides lightweight, energy-absorbing, and ventilated protection against impacts. A specially developed EPP foam core increases durability in areas subject to repeated impacts, making the helmet exceptionally long-lasting.
The integrated Mips® Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces that can result from oblique impacts to the head, thereby providing additional protection. The helmet meets ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2007 Class A, and FIS RH 2013 certifications, underscoring its suitability for professional use. Seamless integration with Smith ensures maximum comfort and ventilation, while the antimicrobial Ionic+® lining provides sweat-activated odor control.
Weighing 700 g in size M (including Mips®), the helmet offers a balanced combination of protection and comfort. The matching slalom chin guard is available separately and rounds out the lineup for ambitious skiers.

What is it for?
Our take
With its FIS RH 2013 approval, the Counter Mips is aimed at alpine racing and uses zonal Koroyd. Its ABS hard shell contains an EPP foam core; you can add a compatible slalom chin guard separately.
