The Smith Mission Mips is a ski helmet for men that offers reliable head protection on the slopes. Designed without a built-in visor, it suits skiers who prefer to pair their own goggles and appreciate straightforward, no-frills gear.
Built using In-Mold construction, the Mission Mips bonds a tough outer shell directly to the foam liner, keeping the helmet’s profile slim without sacrificing strength. Its integrated ventilation helps channel cool air through while you ski, preventing overheating during active days. And with MIPS technology included, this helmet adds a safety layer against rotational forces in angled impacts, giving you extra confidence when you’re pushing your limits.
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It’s a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows a small amount of movement between the head and the shell during an impact, helping to reduce rotational motion transferred to your brain. This doesn’t eliminate all risk but can lessen certain types of impact forces.
