The Best Ski Helmets of 2026
Oct 1, 2025
One of Smith’s most popular helmets, the Vantage returns lighter and tougher than ever this year. A new three-piece hybrid shell trims weight while reinforcing key impact zones. Full-coverage Koroyd adds both energy absorption and breathable protection while MIPS takes care of rotational forces to round out a strong safety package. On the comfort side, adjustable front and rear vents allow one-handed climate control, the BOA 360 Fit System fine-tunes the fit and a Fidlock magnetic buckle makes fastening effortless, even with gloves on. Removable ear pads work with audio chips and can be pulled out when style or temperature dictate.Â
