The Smith Mission MIPS is our recommendation as a budget-friendly helmet for those who frequently split their time between riding chairlifts and the backcountry. Purchasing a helmet for each activity can be a financial burden and unnecessary depending on one's touring goals. The Mission achieves an equitable share of front and backcountry needs in a helmet. It is a well-balanced model with many favorable features of a resort helmet like adjustable vents, a warm liner, MIPS, and Koroyd, all in a lightweight, low profile, backcountry-ready package. It is only a few ounces heavier than the lightest helmet in our review but offers more utility to the standard ski tour. For the average recreational backcountry skier, the marginal weight increase is a reasonable tradeoff for enhanced impact protection and other amenities this helmet provides. This unique balance of features and performance led to the Mission being one of the first helmets our testers reached for, whether you are spending the day riding groomers or touring out of our favorite trailhead. 
Our snowboarding reviewer's main hesitation when reaching for this helmet was its styling. Fortunately, this is subjective, and anything can look stylish if you own it. Additionally, removing the earpads was more complicated than other models. When removing the pads, it felt similar to breaking the plastic insert. Because the pads are integrated into the harness system, you need to remove the harness attachment near the temple area of the helmet. Despite these minor quirks, this helmet's lightweight, functional, breathable, and protective nature makes it a choice option for those who want one helmet for front and backcountry use.

Smith Mission Helmet Review

It’s so much easier to but this kind of item through Amazon than driving around town teeing to find a ski shop that has your size in stock. Great helmet, good venting and super comfortable.

Super comfortable helmet.

Price£99QualityComfortValuePerformanceOverall Score+Lightweight and comfortable.‐A little basic in the looks department.Smith's Mission is an in-mold design helmet weighing in at a relatively light 450g for a size M. Available in MIPS and non-MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) variants at a price of £129 or £99 respectively, it isn't the cheapest on the market but won't break the bank either

Smith Mission Helmet

Lots of good features, but poor quality design on the size adjustment band. Arrived broken on one side and would have likely broken in use soon anyways.

Flimsy design on size adjustment. Arrived with broken thin plastic adjuster.

Switchback Travel | Smith Level MIPS Helmet Review

powerreviews

For years, the Smith Vantage MIPS has remained our favorite overall helmet. The feature set of this helmet makes it a repeat fan-favorite for our testers. The easily adjustable Boa dial system eliminates pressure points, providing a comfortable, custom fit regardless of head shape. The versatile ventilation system allows you to pick which vents you want to open, so that you can tailor the amount of airflow. The Vantage uses MIPS technology to better absorb the rotational impact forces commonly associated with brain injuries. It also employs a generous amount of Koroyd, which is a welded tube structure designed to absorb the impact forces and decrease your chances of serious injury from direct hits. These features, plus the helmet's tight, high-quality construction, makes it an easy choice for any die-hard skier.   
The only real downside to the Smith Vantage MIPS is its high price. The best-of-the-best doesn't come cheap, but there's value in spending more to get more, especially when it comes to head protection – as they say, you only get one of them! The Vantage MIPS is appropriate for any skier or rider simply looking for the best ski helmet available on the market.

Switchback Travel

We’ve tested a lot of ski helmets, and none is more impressive than the Smith Vantage. The quality and attention to detail are clear, with a soft but supportive liner, excellent coverage all around your head, and an easy-to-adjust Boa dial for fit. You simply put on the helmet and forget that it’s there—the Vantage feels that comfortable and light. You also get superior ventilation with a total of 21 vents controlled by two separate sliders for easy customization. All in all, you won’t find a helmet that is so comfortable and universally capable of frontside and backcountry use.

The Vantage also comes with all the safety bells and whistles in the Smith arsenal. Their distinctive honeycomb Aerocore construction is visible through the vent openings and intended to improve energy absorption in a crash. And the popular MIPS liner, designed to protect your brain in an angled impact, is included. These safety features are tough to quantify, but it’s worth noting that the extra tech is integrated very well into the low-profile design. Whether the whole package is worth the steep $270 price tag is up to you. Editor’s note: we’ve found the MIPS model does run a bit small, so those on the high end of the fit range may have to size up...
