Ski, Snow & Bike Helmets

Choosing a Ski or Bike Helmet

The most important helmet feature to understand is MIPS, a low-friction layer that lets the helmet rotate slightly on impact to reduce the rotational forces linked to brain injury, and nearly every helmet here includes it. Beyond safety, fit is what makes a helmet worth wearing, since a helmet that sits snug without pressure points protects properly and stays comfortable all day. For snow helmets, goggle integration matters too, so your goggles and helmet seal together without a cold gap across your forehead.

MIPS protection

Most Smith and POC helmets here feature MIPS, which addresses the rotational impacts that cause many head injuries. It's the standard worth insisting on for both snow and bike.

Snow versus bike

Smith's snow helmets like the Vantage and Level pair with goggles for winter, while the Signal and Convoy are built for mountain biking with more ventilation. Choose for your sport and season.

Goggle and gear pairing

Snow helmets work best matched with compatible goggles for a seamless seal. Browse our goggles collection and keep warm with our heated gloves.
