You won’t find a helmet much more comfortable than the Vantage, certainly not one that manages to cram all of the current market-level safety features inside of a lightweight, compact shell. The Vantage checks all of the boxes that you’d expect based on the competition–an accurate fit-adjustment system, molded impact-resistant hardshell, and MIPS rotational impact protection.
It’s a do-all snowsports helmet that can keep you protected from high-velocity impacts, but it comes at a premium. Taking a closer look at the specs might convince you that it’s worth the investment.
The most important criteria in judging a helmet are, of course, safety. But they go a little further by including their shock absorbing Aerocore inserts right underneath the vents. Aside from the safety specs, the Smith Vantage is incredibly well ventilated with 21 slide track adjustable vents.
Paired with their smell-resistant fleece liner, the Vantage MIPS offers just the right balance of safety, comfort, and technical features.
