Smith Vantage 2 Mips® Snow Helmet

The Smith Vantage 2 Mips® is a next-gen all-mountain ski and snowboard helmet with full KOROYD® coverage, Mips® brain protection, and a new three-piece hybrid shell—built for riders who want maximum safety, airflow, and low-profile comfort every day on snow.

Why the Vantage 2 Mips® Stands Out

• Tri-Shell hybrid construction: A three-piece hybrid shell reduces weight while maximizing impact protection in key zones, giving you a low-profile feel without sacrificing durability.
• Full KOROYD® coverage: Increased KOROYD® coverage provides lightweight, energy-absorbing, and highly ventilated impact protection across the whole helmet.
• Mips® Brain Protection System: An integrated Mips® low-friction layer is designed to reduce rotational forces from angled impacts for added protection when falls get awkward.
• 40-vent climate control: A massive 40 vents plus dual regulator climate control let you independently fine-tune airflow across the top and sides of the helmet with one hand.
• BOA® 360 Fit System: The BOA® 360 Fit System wraps your entire head and micro-adjusts with a simple dial turn for a secure, evenly snug fit over a beanie or on its own.
• Fog-fighting AirEvac™ tech: Smith’s AirEvac™ ventilation system pulls warm air away from your goggles and out through the helmet for a cleaner, fog-free interface with Smith goggles.
• Ionic+® antimicrobial lining: A plush, sweat-wicking liner with Ionic+® antimicrobial technology offers sweat-activated odor control and all-day comfort.
• Fidlock® magnetic buckle: The Fidlock® strap buckle makes clipping in and out easy with one gloved hand—no fumbling at the chairlift.
• Aleck® audio compatible: Removable, low-profile ear pads are ready for Aleck® and other drop-in audio systems (sold separately) so you can add music or comms without compromising fit.

Ideal For

Committed skiers and snowboarders who want a true quiver-of-one helmet for all-mountain riding. The Vantage 2 Mips® is perfect for intermediate and advanced riders who chase pow days, carve groomers, and explore in- and out-of-bounds lines and want top-tier protection with serious airflow.
