Product Information
Full details
The Smith Session MIPS MTB Helmet is designed for dedicated all-mountain riders who require a balance of lightweight comfort, high-speed ventilation, and advanced safety features. It is ideal for cyclists who prioritize impact protection without sacrificing breathability; however, riders who prefer a minimalist design may find the integrated visor and accessory mounts slightly bulkier than entry-level cross-country models.

Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Ensure the rear cradle height adjustment is properly set to the base of your skull before tightening the main dial.
Eyewear fogging during heavy exertion
Check that the AirEvac vent channels at the brow are clear of debris and that the glasses are positioned correctly to allow airflow.
Visor rattles during rides
Verify that all three adjustment tabs on the visor are clicked firmly into their respective grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, adjust the rear retention dial until the helmet sits snugly but comfortably. The three-position visor should be adjusted while the helmet is off to ensure it is level. For eyewear compatibility, slide your glasses into the front vents when not in use for secure storage. To care for the helmet, wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior antimicrobial lining is removable and should be hand-washed in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dried to preserve its odor-control properties.
