It never hurts when a piece of gear happens to look great and perform well at the same time. Enter the Smith Variance MIPS Helmet. Its hybrid shell construction combines tough ABS hardshell tech on top with flyweight in-mold innovation closer to your noggin for ideal levels of impact-resistance. The Variance is MIPS-equipped -- meaning it does a better job of absorbing shock from oblique (read: angled) forces -- while a Dual Regulator Climate Control System paired with AirEvac 2 Ventilation drives warm air away from your head when it's time to turn it up to eleven. Coming in at a slightly more palatable price-point than its ever-popular Vantage older sibling, the Smith Variance MIPS Helmet is a solid tech-equipped selection for snow enthusiasts this season.
Hybrid Shell Construction – Smith's Hybrid Shell construction combines two separate lightweight and durable shells to create a new helmet category. Tough ABS hardshell construction is fused with flyweight In-Mold technology, optimizing the best traits of each.
Low Profile Dual Regulator Climate Control – Dual Regulator system independently controls the front and rear sections of the helmet, allowing you to perfectly modulate temperature even in extremely cold condtions.
AirEvac™ Ventilation – AirEvac drives the warm air away from the goggle through external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner.
18 Vents
Smith x BOA® Adjustment System – This 3/4 haloed fit system is offered exclusively by Smith, and offers the user a perfect, centered fit with single handed, on-the-fly operation.
Removable Snapfit SL Ear Pads – Smith earpads, with their inner surface of technical materials, provide a comfortable seal from the wind and weather on even the stormiest days. For a warm spring day, remove the earpads entirely to reduce weight and maximize cooling. All earpads are fully removable and machine washable.
MIPS® System Equipped – In a helmet with the MIPS Brain Protection System, the shell and liner are separated by a low friction layer that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head in and angled impact.
