What we didn’t like: earpads for can be short for some sized heads, some think audio quality could be better, older iPhones may not pair well The Bombshell construction utilizes an injection-molded ABS shell with an EPS lining to keep you fully protected. This construction is extremely durable and impact resistance and provides exceptional protection from heavy impacts.That sleek profile is impressive considering how many vents the Vantage has: 21. That’s at least eight or nine more than just about every other leading helmet on the market.

Goggle retainers are a simple but appreciated feature. The built-in clip holds goggle straps in place and helps reduce the risk of losing your ski goggles in a crash or otherwise. Designs do vary some—many budget helmets use a simple plastic piece that flips open, while higher-end helmets will have a more secure strap or cord design. Giro's goggle retainer systems are simple and easy to useBombshell Construction - Tough hardcore ABS shell matched with an EPS liner to give durable protection Other folks asking the “do I need a ski helmet” question wonder if they or their kid can just wear that trusty bike or skate helmet on the mountain. Short answer: not if you want to guarantee the best protection you can. SKI HELMETS VS BIKE AND SKATE HELMETS

Founded in 1965 Smith have been at the forefront of innovation for goggles for over 50 years. Developing technologies such as BirdsEye Vision and ChromoPop ™ snow lenses that enhance clarity and natural colour to let you effortlessly see more detail. Entering the snow helmet market in 2006 Smith took goggle-helmet integration to a new level introducing AirEvac and AirEvac2 to enhance active and passive ventilation of the goggle. Koroyd® technology also provides superior impact absorption, design flexibility, and ventilation when compared to materials traditionally used in helmet construction. The Smith Scout is a tough, durable, and well-styled helmet designed for progressive users, with a lifestyle fit system that creates a comfortable fit whether wearing goggles over or underneath.

While some reviewers loved the sound quality, convenience, and functionality-and found no issues with Bluetooth connectivity-others have disagreed. A few mentioned issues holding a connection with the older iPhone 8, while others don’t like the music sound quality or volume levels. All the reviewers we heard from were pleased with the phone-call quality and the microphone. However multiple users have complained that the function button on the Communication earpads is too small and pretty much impossible to use with ski gloves on.A MIPS-enabled helmet essentially functions dynamically, offering protection from a wider variety of impacts and multiple angles. A non-MIPS helmet still protects you, but it does so statically and against fewer types of impacts. Helmet offers goggles integration for maximum airflow and audio compatibility for keeping up with your crew
