Smith Optics Altus MIPS

I really like the look and fit of this helmet, however as stated on many other reviews, the vents stick open. I was able to remove the foam from the inside of the helmet and straighten the vent. The slider on the back should only travel about half the distance it is allowed to go. After that the ven...

I purchased this helmet online without having tried it on prior to purchase. I was skeptical that it would fit properly. The online sizing chart approach worked out well. Fits perfectly!

Great helmet, great fit and as expected sizing. I bought this at the end of the season so I've used it while boarding with the ear pads removed and with the vent's open, there are not complaints from me about getting too hot. I'm ready to use it on the slopes.

Fits very snug while remaining quite breathable. Also comes in great color ways, really liking the Smith helmets!

This helmet has everything needed to look great, be safe, have fun, and feel comfortable at an amazing value.
