FAQs

What does Mips stand for and why is it important?

Mips stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a revolutionary technology designed to add a low-friction layer inside the helmet, allowing it to slide relative to your head during an angled impact. This significantly reduces rotational force transferred to the brain.

How do I clean the helmet liner?

Typically, the liner can be removed. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet. Do not machine wash or dry.

Is this helmet suitable for all snow sports?

Yes, the Smith Liberty Mips Helmet is designed for skiing and snowboarding across various terrains and conditions, offering protection and comfort for these activities.

What is the warranty on this helmet?

Smith typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Smith's official website for specific warranty details and duration.

Can I wear a beanie under this helmet?

The helmet is designed for a snug fit with its liner. Wearing a thin balaclava or skullcap might be possible, but a thick beanie will likely alter the fit and compromise the helmet's safety performance. It's best to rely on the helmet's internal lining for warmth.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present. Materials degrade over time and with exposure to the elements.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the dial on the rear fit system. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a secure, comfortable fit is achieved.

Chin strap is uncomfortable

Adjust the length of the chin strap and the position of the buckle so it sits just below your jawline. Ensure it's snug but not constricting.

Venting does not seem to adjust

Ensure the vent controls are not obstructed by snow or debris. Gently move the sliders to open or close the vents.

Liner feels damp after use

This is normal due to moisture-wicking. Ensure the liner is fully air-dried after each use before storing to prevent odor and maintain its properties.

  • Lightweight yet durable construction for extended wear.
  • Excellent comfort due to the soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking liner.
  • Highly customizable fit for a secure and personalized feel.
  • Versatile ventilation system adapts to changing conditions.

Cons

  • The one-size-fits-most design may not be ideal for all head shapes.
  • Ventilation control might be less precise than fully adjustable systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet comes ready to wear. Use the internal dial on the adjustable fit system to loosen or tighten the helmet for a snug fit. Ensure the chin strap is comfortably adjusted.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed to work with most standard ski goggles. The brim is shaped to minimize goggle gap, though specific compatibility may vary by goggle model. It is not designed for integration with communication systems.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. The inner liner can often be removed (check manufacturer instructions) and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water, then air-dried completely.
  2. Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing heavy items on top of it.
  3. Maintenance: Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn padding. Replace the helmet if it has been involved in a significant impact.
