The Smith Pilot MIPS Helmet is designed for adult mountain bike enthusiasts who prioritize safety and trail-ready comfort. Its primary benefit is the integrated MIPS Brain Protection System, which significantly reduces rotational forces during angled impacts, ensuring superior head protection. While it offers excellent ventilation and a lightweight build, potential users should note that the visor is fixed, which may not suit those who prefer adjustable or removable sun protection.

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts.
No, the Smith Pilot MIPS features a fixed visor that is integrated into the helmet structure.
The helmet should feel snug but comfortable, sitting level on your head without shifting forward, backward, or side-to-side when you move your head.
While it can be used for road cycling, it is specifically optimized for MTB with added rear coverage and a visor.
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if it has been involved in a crash.
The helmet is designed primarily for cycling glasses, though many standard MTB goggles may fit depending on their strap length and profile.
Ensure the rear cradle is positioned correctly at the base of your skull and check that the side straps are evenly balanced.
Verify that the performance comfort liner is correctly attached and consider wearing a sweat-wicking skull cap underneath.
Confirm that your glasses are compatible with the channel spacing and ensure they are pushed firmly into the slots.
To achieve the best fit, loosen the dial fit system fully before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned level across the forehead, rotate the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Adjust the side straps so that the Y-junction sits just below the ears.
