A unisex ski helmet, the Smith DESCEND MIPS Ski Helmet is designed for skiers and snowboarders seeking advanced protection for their winter adventures. Lightweight and low-profile, it combines MIPS® technology with Zonal KOROYD® panels for optimized impact absorption. Its in-mold construction and 16 adjustable ventilation ports provide lasting comfort, while its weight of 400 g in size M makes it ideal for full days on the mountain. Designed to pair seamlessly with SMITH goggles, it effectively supports your downhill skiing and snowboarding adventures.

Advanced protection and optimized comfort with the Smith DESCEND MIPS Ski Helmet

The Smith DESCEND MIPS Ski Helmet features an in-mold construction that fuses the molded plastic outer shell with EPS foam to provide a lightweight, one-piece structure that remains stable for everyday use. The integrated MIPS® system helps mitigate oblique impacts by reducing rotational forces on the head, while Zonal KOROYD® panels absorb energy during a collision for more consistent protection across key areas. The helmet weighs approximately 400 g in size M, which helps minimize muscle fatigue during runs without compromising the feeling of safety.

Adjustable ventilation and goggle integration for a seamless experience

Designed to accompany your alpine skiing or snowboarding adventures in the WINTER 2027 collection, this unisex helmet features an AirEvac™ ventilation system engineered to promote airflow and manage internal heat. The 16 adjustable ventilation ports allow you to tailor airflow to conditions—whether it’s bitterly cold or a milder day—while minimizing fogging on your SMITH goggles for clearer vision. This airflow control helps maintain a more stable internal environment, contributing to overall comfort even when the pace picks up on the slopes.

Precise Fit and Features Designed for Everyday Use

The dial adjustment system offers precise adjustment in just a few steps, allowing you to fine-tune the fit to your head circumference and the available helmet sizes, ranging from 51–55 to 55–59 cm depending on the model chosen. An adjustable chin strap complements this system to secure the helmet without excessive tightness. Inside, the Ionic+® antimicrobial lining helps control sweat-related odors and improves comfort against the skin during repeated use. The removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads allow for a warmer or lighter setup depending on the weather and are compatible with audio systems—including the Aleck® audio system—for those who want to incorporate sound into their riding routine.

Technical details for structured outdoor use

This model from the WINTER collection is certified for skiing and snowboarding, meeting standards such as ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2007 Class B, CPSC, and CE EN 1078, which attest to testing conducted on impact resistance and construction reliability. Its intended use—alpine skiing and snowboarding helmets—confirms its focus on resort and all-mountain adventures, with a unisex design that meets the needs of a wide audience. Available in the MATTE PINK FROST colorway and in a range of sizes, the Smith DESCEND MIPS ski helmet is designed with safety and comfort in mind for your winter days on the slopes.
