Adventure seekers and gear enthusiasts! Today, we dive into the world of Smith Helmets, a brand that’s been keeping us safe and stylish on our outdoor escapades for years. Whether you’re carving down a snowy slope, bombing down a mountain bike trail, or cruising your local skate park, Smith Helmets have you protected. So, let’s take a leisurely ride through what makes these helmets so awesome.
A Legacy of Innovation
Smith Optics, the parent company behind Smith Helmets, has been a trailblazer in the outdoor gear industry since 1965. Founded by Dr. Bob Smith, an orthodontist with a passion for skiing, the company initially made waves with their innovative ski goggles. Over the decades, they expanded their expertise to include helmets, bringing the same commitment to quality, innovation, and style.
Safety First, Always
When it comes to helmets, safety is non-negotiable. Smith Helmets are engineered with cutting-edge technology to ensure maximum protection. Let’s talk about a couple of their standout features:
MIPS Technology: Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a game-changer in helmet design. It reduces rotational forces during impact, which can significantly decrease the risk of brain injuries. Many Smith Helmets are equipped with MIPS, giving you that extra layer of protection.
Aerocore Construction: This unique construction uses Koroyd, a material that absorbs more impact compared to traditional helmet materials. It also enhances ventilation, keeping your head cool and comfortable even during intense activities.
Style Meets Function
Who says you can’t look good while being safe? Smith Helmets are known for their sleek designs and variety of colours and patterns. Whether you prefer a classic matte black or a bold, vibrant print, there’s a Smith Helmet that matches your style.
Customisable Fit: Comfort is key, and Smith Helmets are designed to fit like a glove. With adjustable features like the VaporFit system, you can easily tweak the helmet to get that perfect fit.
Eco-Friendly Initiatives
In today’s world, being environmentally conscious is more important than ever. Smith Optics is committed to sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly materials and practices in their production process. Their use of recycled materials and sustainable packaging is a step towards reducing their carbon footprint and protecting the beautiful landscapes we love to explore.
The Smith Experience
What really sets Smith Helmets apart is the community and experience they foster. When you wear a Smith Helmet, you’re joining a family of outdoor enthusiasts who value safety, performance, and adventure. From professional athletes to weekend warriors, Smith Helmets are trusted by those who push the limits and explore new frontiers.

Made for going big, going fast, or both, the Smith Mainline is the pinnacle, downhill certified enduro bike helmet. Safety innovations like KOROYD™ and Mips® provide energy-absorbing impact protection so you have the confidence to get aggressive on the trail.

You earn your ride through the climb, but you’re really in it for the downhill. Our Smith Session helmet is made for the all-mountain rider that wants speed and style in one protective package. The ultralight feel and innovative protection of Koroyd® in strategic, zonal impact areas let you bomb and blaze with confidence. Generous air ports on the top work with internal air channels to provide ventilation that keeps you cool on the uphill and helps maintain your focus in descent mode. Plus, it accommodates easy goggle or eyewear storage so you can sit back and enjoy the view from the top without accidentally smashing your gear.

You’ve always been drawn to the challenge of a new route, a new trail, the thrill of the unexpected. Designed for whatever you get into on two wheels, the Smith Network is our versatile, shred-ready bike helmet. Safety techs like KOROYD® and Mips® offer protection and enhanced energy absorption should you need it. When the sun is blazing and you’re heating up, the ventilation system keeps air flowing and your eyewear fog-free. Later, when the light dips beneath the hills, store your shades in pass-through channels on the front.
