Smith Mission MIPS Helmet - Matte Lava
Description
There is the gear you need and there is gear you love. The Smith Mission ski and snowboard helmet is both. Its lightweight design brings the latest safety innovations including MIPS™ and zonal Koroyd® for enhanced energy absorption in the event of a crash. Because you head to the mountain in all conditions, adjustable vents let you dial in the climate control. And because we live in a connected world, it has audio compatible ear pads. It's lined for instant comfort, and you can fine tune the fit with the adjustable dial.

Learn More About the Tech:
MIPS® IS A BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM - ENGINEERED TO ADD PROTECTION TO HELMETS.
The MIPS® Brain Protection System (BPS) is found inside the helmet, generally between the comfort padding and the EPS (a high-quality foam used to reduce energy).
For certain impacts, the MIPS® BPS can reduce harmful forces transmitted to the brain.
MIPS® stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System.
HOW IT WORKS
The MIPS® Brain Protection System (BPS) is designed to add protection against rotational motion transferred to the brain. Rotational motion affects the brain and increase the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. When implemented in a helmet, the MIPS® BPS can reduce rotational motion by redirecting energies and forces otherwise transferred to the brain. The core of the MIPS® BPS is a low friction layer that allows the head to move 10-15 mm relative the helmet in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain. The MIPS® BPS makes your helmet safer and adds protection.
