help Smith Vantage MIPS FAQ

Is the Smith Vantage MIPS a ski helmet or a combat-sport helmet?

The Smith Vantage MIPS is a snow helmet for skiing and snowboarding, not a boxing, MMA, or cycling helmet. Its safety features are designed around snow-sport impacts and cold-weather use.

What does MIPS add to the Smith Vantage?

MIPS is designed to reduce certain rotational forces during angled impacts. In the Vantage, it works alongside Smith's helmet shell and impact materials rather than replacing a proper fit.

Why do skiers talk about Koroyd in the Smith Vantage?

Smith uses Koroyd impact material in many Vantage versions, visible as a honeycomb-like structure in parts of the helmet. It is meant to help absorb energy while keeping ventilation open.

Does the Smith Vantage MIPS work well with Smith goggles?

Yes, it is designed to integrate with Smith snow goggles through the company's AirEvac ventilation system. Pairing it with goggles like the Smith I/O line can help reduce fogging on cold resort days.
