FAQs
What does Mips protection do?
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces that can occur during angled impacts to the head, potentially lessening the severity of certain brain injuries.
How do I clean the helmet liner?
The internal lining is often removable. Hand wash it with cold water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or dry.
Is this helmet suitable for backcountry skiing?
The Smith Liberty Mips Helmet offers reliable protection and features for general mountain use, including backcountry. However, for extreme expeditions, always consult specific safety gear recommendations for your activity.
How do I know if I have the right size helmet?
A properly fitting helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead. It should feel snug around your head without pressure points, and should not move significantly when you shake your head. Use the adjustable fit system to fine-tune the fit.
Can I wear a hat or beanie under this helmet?
You can wear a thin balaclava or beanie under the helmet, but ensure it does not interfere with the fit or the effectiveness of the helmet's safety systems. The helmet should still feel snug and secure.
What is the benefit of the hybrid shell construction?
The hybrid shell construction combines the durability of an outer shell with the lightweight properties of an inner structure. This provides robust protection while keeping the helmet weight manageable for comfort.
How do I adjust the vents?
Vents are typically adjusted using small sliders located on the helmet. Move the sliders to open or close the vents to regulate airflow and temperature according to your comfort and the conditions.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or moves excessively.
Adjust the rear fit system dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, not tilted back or forward.
Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.
Loosen the rear fit system dial. Check if the helmet is the correct size for your head. Some minor pressure points may ease with a short break-in period, but significant discomfort indicates an improper fit.
Vents are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the sliders are clean and free of ice or debris. Try gently wiggling the slider while adjusting. If still stiff, use a dry cloth to clean the vent area.
Lining feels uncomfortable or is causing irritation.
Ensure the lining is properly installed and clean. If irritation persists, consider using a thin balaclava or beanie underneath, provided it does not compromise the fit and safety.
