FAQs
What is the primary benefit of MIPS?
MIPS is designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain that can occur during an angled impact, offering better protection than a standard helmet shell alone.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the Smith Wilder is specifically designed for integration with Smith performance goggles and eyewear.
How do I adjust the fit?
Use the VaporFit dial located at the back of the helmet to achieve a 270-degree adjustment around the head.
Is the visor removable?
No, the Smith Wilder features an integrated visor that is fixed in place.
How heavy is the helmet?
The helmet weighs approximately 270g, making it very lightweight for all-day riding.
How should I store my sunglasses in the helmet?
The helmet features integrated storage channels that allow the temples of the sunglasses to slide into the front vents securely.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened
Ensure the fit pads are properly seated inside the helmet and check that the hair is not trapped between the retention system and the head.
Sunglasses do not stay in the storage channels
Verify that the sunglasses are pushed fully into the channels; the helmet is specifically designed to work with Smith performance eyewear for the best fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, loosen the VaporFit dial completely before placing it on the rider's head. Once positioned, turn the dial until the helmet feels snug but comfortable, ensuring it sits level across the forehead. For care, clean the exterior shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior comfort lining is removable and should be hand-washed in cool water and air-dried to maintain hygiene and prevent odors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can compromise the integrity of the polycarbonate shell.
