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.

FAQs

Does this helmet come with a MIPS liner?

Yes, the Smith Session includes the MIPS Brain Protection System to help reduce rotational forces.

Can I mount a light to this helmet?

Yes, it is designed with mount points specifically for cameras or external light accessories.

How do I clean the interior padding?

The interior liner is antimicrobial and removable. Hand wash it in cool water with mild soap and let it air dry.

Is this helmet compatible with all goggles?

It is optimized for Smith goggles and eyewear, though it works with most standard-sized mountain bike goggles.

How many ventilation holes are there?

The helmet features 15 fixed vents combined with internal channels for continuous airflow.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection with Zonal Koroyd
  • Excellent airflow provided by 15 fixed vents
  • Seamless compatibility with eyewear and goggles
  • Integrated internal structure for added durability
  • Adjustable visor accommodates various riding conditions

Cons

  • Slightly heavier than minimalist XC-specific helmets
  • Visor adjustability is limited to three set positions

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.
