Meticulously engineered for best-in-class protection and superior on-snow performance, the Smith Altus MIPS Helmet features a blend of defensive technologies in a classic, yet sophisticated, shell. Its in-molded construction fuses the exterior shell with EPS foam to create an absorptive layer that is both lightweight and durable, while a layer of Zonal Koroyd coverage absorbs energy with a lightweight feel and ventilated impact protection. When combined with MIPS technology, the overall construction of the Altus endows this protective layer with unrivaled defense against rotational forces associated with angled impacts to the head. The resulting ride is exceptionally defensive, enviably technical, and – when combined with Smith’s Regulator Climate Control – undeniably ventilated. Light enough for backcountry missions but tailored toward everyday performance, the Smith Altus MIPS Helmet possesses a confidence-inspiring ride in a superbly versatile frame.
