This Smith Method Pro MIPS helmet is amazing! The reason that I bought this helmet is because of all the great reviews and studies I read on impact protection. I am one that prefers function over form. However, this helmet accomplished both. The fit is perfect and the helmet really looks great in the military green color that I bought it in. It is light on the head and comfortable to wear, with no pressure points when worn all day. It works well with my goggles and keeps my ears warm. I don ’ t know what else I can ask from a ski helmet!

I picked this up for my first time snowboarding and am very thankful to not have gotten a concussion after a gnarly wipe out. The helmet looks cool, is adjustable with the dial on the back, comfortable/lightweight, and I appreciated how well it integrated with my Smith goggles.

Just received the helmet; seems to be of good quality and a good replacement for my Smith Maze that has taken quite a beating with no concussion/brain injuries. Love the mips. The tailored temporal part dips in a bit and puts a bit of pressure, so maybe not the best fit if you have a big head.

River P.
I&# x27; ve had two of these helmets. The first one got a large crack in the back after hitting my head on the snow, but I didn&# x27; t get a concussion. I&# x27; ve slammed my head pretty hard a few times in the second one, as well, but every time I&# x27; ve been completely fine. I just got a big dent after a hard hit, so I will be replacing it again. I am amazed at how well this helmet has protected me.

[ Much to my relief, this helmet is pretty warm. It seems that any time I 've gone skiing this year the temps have been in the negatives( Fahrenheit) and evidently there's not a whole lot the helmet is protecting, since I forgot to wear my hat underneath it for a while, but it was a good hour before I was wondering why my ears were starting to get cold. My mountain bike helmet has MIPS, and I 've found out first- hand how well that works, so I have real confidence in the helmet to keep me safe for when I get false confidence in my lacking ability on the slopes. Does n't look half- bad, either.

[ Awesome fit and color. I have a Giro bike helmet and this ski helmet is a bit snug due to the padding but perfect for keeping warm. Highly recommend measuring your head to ensure a good fit.

I bought the purple- ish color but it looks more burnt red in the sun light- which I prefer. It's warm and fits well. There is only one small way to adjust the size so measure your head before you buy it. I 've used it in- 6 F weather and it was warm.

[ This helmet was great for my ski trip out west earlier this winter. I liked the look of it and had no issues getting it adjusted with goggles, etc. Unfortunately, my dog was pretty mad at me for leaving him for Colorado and took it out of my suitcase when I got home and tore it up. Great helmet, just don ’ t let your dog get to it:)

I was a little confused why the more expensive helmet in the lineup did n't have Mips technology, but I opted for this because this one was adjustable. After years of rental helmets, decided to make the investment in this one and glad I did. Also travels easily.

I like it overall, pretty comfortable, seems to have all the latest safety stuff. Only suggestions is I 'm not sure if it's the wave cell or what but it gets really noisy at higher speeds, going to have to try taping those air holes off. And it's just pretty bulbous, not sure if it's possible but it would be nice if it was lower profile and avoided the bubblehead/barely fits in a hood thing.

We do a lot of sledding and snow tubing as a family. Problem is the slope gets icy and fast real quick. I usually make the kids wear their skate helmets. Recently My husband started wear his hockey helmet i was just wearing my wool cap and my parka hood drawn tight. I began to get worried i was going to get a concussion after watching my husband wipe out and seeing his helmeted head make contact with the frozen snow.

Stinger
[ Bought this as I wanted a little beefier dome protection after taking big hit mid- season with my last helmet and needed new one. Chose matte petrol and was happy to see what this color really looks like, a matted darker blue with a very faint iridescence that is really cool, but not flashy. Haven ’ t seen anyone around with this color helmet, as doesn ’ t have two tone color scheme many of the other quantum ’s around. Helmet fits great, 58cm head, and large size has enough room for balaclava I use when colder. Very comfy without looking like bobblehead. ODT Chips audio fits great for sound on mountain and venting is solid. I use Smith I/OX goggs and perfect integration as one might expect... no gaps, no fog, no issues. Great helmet option for increased dome protection!

Yeayea
[ I ’ ve used this helmet on warm Southern California slopes and in horrid conditions in British ’s Colombia. It is extremely comfortable and the fit is exceptionally customizable, the magnetic chin strap is awesome and makes everything easy. It would entirely depend on your personal fit and how much headcover you wear under it but the helmet is not particularly warm even with the vents closed. Wearing a balaclava or skull cap barely changes the fit and you can easily fit a helmet accepting hood over it for those extra cruddy days. A nice addition is the adjustable visor which means this helmet will roll with just about every kind of goggle out there. It also has perfect spacing to give just enough venting so there ’s no fogging on those warmer days. Regarding fit I usually run on the extreme edge of medium, this helmet is perfectly true to fit and was just a hair small on me which is what I anticipated. The liner is easily removable to make room for a hat or thicker liner. All in all Oakley did a solid job on this, luckily I haven ’ t given it ’s impact resistance a solid test yet.

The fit on this helmet is great. The `` contour fit '' helmets fits the shape of my head much better than the standard fit helmets. However, I previously had the Maze helmet, which so much lighter and had a `` less bulky '' feel. Finally, the goggle strap holder in the back gets stuck and it's hard to get your goggle on and off of the helmet. Overall, the helmet is a great buy. I think I will end up buying the Maze helmet in the contour fit.

It was a hard impact. I still got a concussion, but I am certain my helmet saved me from much worse. I ’ ll be replacing my helmet with another Smith. Hopefully the new one will have a more peaceful retirement.

When selecting a freestyle snow helmet, consider features such as adjustable ventilation systems to regulate temperature during activity, and a lightweight design for comfort during extended wear. Look for a snug fit with adjustable straps to ensure stability while performing tricks. Additionally, consider helmets with removable liners for easy cleaning and customizable padding for a personalized fit. Safety certifications are also important, as they indicate the helmet meets specific impact protection standards.
To determine the right size for a freestyle snow helmet, start by measuring the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows using a flexible measuring tape. Once you have the measurement, refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer, as sizes can vary between brands. It's important to try on the helmet to ensure a snug fit without being too tight, and check that it sits level on your head and does not move when you shake your head. Additionally, consider any adjustments or padding options that may help achieve a more customized fit.
Freestyle snow helmets are typically constructed using a combination of hard outer shells and impact-absorbing inner liners. The outer shell is often made from durable materials like polycarbonate or ABS plastic, which provide protection against impacts. The inner liner is usually crafted from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, designed to absorb shock and enhance comfort. Many helmets also feature moisture-wicking liners and adjustable ventilation systems to improve overall comfort during use.
Freestyle snow helmets often feature designs that prioritize a balance between protection and mobility. Many models incorporate a lightweight construction to reduce fatigue during tricks and jumps, while adjustable ventilation systems help regulate temperature. Additionally, some helmets include a snug fit and low-profile design, which can enhance aerodynamics and comfort, allowing for better performance on the slopes.
Freestyle snow helmets are designed specifically for activities like park riding and tricks, featuring a more lightweight and flexible construction compared to regular snow helmets. They often have a lower profile and enhanced ventilation to accommodate the dynamic movements and increased heat generated during freestyle activities. Additionally, these helmets may include features such as removable ear pads and goggle compatibility to provide a customizable fit and improved comfort for riders. Regular snow helmets, on the other hand, typically prioritize overall protection and warmth for general skiing or snowboarding.
When selecting a freestyle snow helmet, it's important to look for safety certifications that indicate the helmet meets specific performance standards. Common certifications include ASTM F2040, which is designed for snow sports, and CE EN 1077, which ensures the helmet has passed rigorous impact tests. Additionally, some helmets may feature MIPS technology, which provides extra protection against rotational forces during impacts. Checking for these certifications can help ensure that the helmet offers reliable protection while you enjoy your time on the slopes.
Freestyle snow helmets are primarily designed for snowboarding and skiing, focusing on protection during tricks and jumps. However, many of these helmets can also be suitable for other winter sports, such as snowshoeing or sledding, as they provide essential head protection. It is important to ensure that the helmet fits properly and meets safety standards for the specific activity you plan to engage in. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines to confirm the helmet's intended use.
Ventilation in freestyle snow helmets is crucial for maintaining comfort and performance on the slopes. Proper airflow helps regulate temperature, preventing overheating during intense activity while also reducing moisture buildup from sweat. Many helmets feature adjustable vents, allowing users to customize airflow based on weather conditions and personal preference. This balance of warmth and breathability enhances the overall riding experience, especially during long sessions in varying conditions.
To ensure a comfortable fit with a freestyle snow helmet, start by measuring your head circumference to find the right size according to the manufacturer's sizing chart. Adjust the internal padding and straps for a snug fit, making sure the helmet sits level on your head without tilting forward or backward. Many helmets also feature adjustable ventilation systems, which can enhance comfort by allowing you to regulate airflow. Finally, consider trying on the helmet with your goggles to ensure compatibility and comfort during use.
To maintain a freestyle snow helmet, regularly inspect it for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents, especially after a fall. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent deterioration of the foam and outer shell. Additionally, replace the helmet if it has sustained significant impact or if it shows signs of wear that could compromise its protective features.
