Smith Glide Jr. MIPS 2027
Whether you're lapping groomers, venturing into the trees, or exploring fresh snow after a storm, the Smith Descend Mips Helmet offers the protection and comfort needed for full days on the mountain. Its sleek, low-profile design keeps weight to a minimum while integrating Smith's latest safety technologies for confident riding in all conditions.
The lightweight in-mold construction bonds the outer shell directly to the EPS foam, creating a durable one-piece helmet that feels light without compromising protection. Zonal Koroyd® coverage absorbs impact energy while maintaining excellent airflow, and the Mips® Brain Protection System helps reduce rotational forces from angled impacts, adding another layer of safety.
A 360° micro-adjustable dial fit system allows quick, one-handed adjustments for a secure, personalized fit throughout the day. The Regulator Climate Control ventilation system lets you easily fine-tune airflow as temperatures change, while 16 integrated vents and AirEvac™ ventilation work together with Smith goggles to minimize fogging and keep your vision clear.
Removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads provide warmth on colder days and are compatible with aftermarket audio chips, making the Descend an excellent choice for skiers and snowboarders who want comfort, protection, and versatility in one lightweight package.
