What do you love about this product?

I love the versatility of the Vantage. Its adjustable vents make it useful in all weather throughout the whole season. It’s lightweight makes it a solid choice for light touring, but it’s durable enough for daily resort use too.

Can you recommend a good helmet for a female skier, size large, under $250?

The Smith Vantage MIPS Helmet would be a great choice. It's super warm and as safe as it gets. It has a super convenient BOA knob on the back of the liner that allows for a perfect fit every time she puts it on with just the twist of a knob.

Does the Smith Vantage MIPS Helmet come in other colors and how is the ventilation?

Yes, they are the same helmet as the black one! It's the helmet I own. I always believed investing in good safety equipment was worth it, and I've had the same helmet for four years now and its still a great fit and easy adjustability.

What can you tell me about the Smith Vantage MIPS Helmet?

The Vantage is by far the nicest of the tree. The liner customizes to your head and there is a little knob on the back that tightens it and makes it a perfect fit every time put it on. The liner is super thick and keeps your ears super warm. I have this helmet in mens version and swear by it. Smith makes the best out there.

The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

I bought the Smith Vantage after owning a Bern helmet for a few seasons. I was looking for something more technical in style and performance, and the Vantage absolutely delivered.

The wicking lining is exceptionally comfortable and breathable, and the adjustable air vents mean I can let cool air in when I’m skinning up, close them on an extra cold day, or keep snow out on the lift.

I’ve been a Smith goggles customer for many years and was really impressed at the goggles/helmet integration that this helmet offers. I don’t usually have a problem with fogging up, but the Vantage totally eliminated any fogging!

I have a pretty round head shape, but I‘m not sure someone with an oval head shape would find this helmet as comfortable. Also, size up if you wear a balaclava or beanie under your lid.

This is a really versatile helmet. Good for touring, resort days, and everything in between.

Overall, the Smith Vantage is a very impressive helmet. And I love the added safety of the MIPs system. I would highly recommend this helmet!

What is the value for the money versus other options?

The Vantage is a fairly expensive helmet. There are other helmets with MIPs or adjustable vents available for less. But all of the features of the Vantage come together to create a helmet that is well worth the price tag. Tons of vents, added safety, comfort, and goggle compatibility all make for a good value on this helmet.

Why did you choose this product?

I chose the Vantage for a few reasons: I knew I needed a helmet that would work in a variety of conditions. I also wanted a helmet that was safe and confidence inspiring - the MIPS system certainly helps with that. Lastly, I wanted a helmet that was stylish. I’ve been really happy with my Smith Vantage.

What was your favorite moment with this gear?

My favorite moment with the Smith Vantage was in April of 2022, riding in belly deep powder at Mt. Bachelor in Oregon. We got 7 feet of snow in 7 days, and we couldn’t get enough Working hard on the way down, and chilling on the lift back up; the Vantage kept pace. Thanks to the goggle vents, my Smith goggles never fogged up.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Edward! Going in to buying skis I had no idea what to look for and super anxious about finding the perfect skis. He gave me great recommendations and guided me every step of the way. Super attentive and overall a great resource! If you are paired with Edward you’re in great hands! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Edward for everything! You truly made the experience amazing for me from offering recommendations, answering questions, and supporting me throughout the process! You’re the best!!!

This guy will answer as many questions as you can throw his way- even if you ask the same question 5 different ways. NEVER felt like he got annoyed with me. Super knowledgeable and if he didn't know the exact right answer he said he'd find out and did quickly. I don't expect anyone to know everything, and I respect when someone can admit it and know where to find it. I'm still asking him questions even after my purchase lolHighly Recommended!!! Thanks Brenden.

Josh helped me figure out exactly what it is that I needed. Ive been a skateboarder for 20+ years and he has helped me transition to snowboarding by guiding me into the direction that most fits a person with heavy skateboarding background. He explained the gear and everything. He listened to my story and helped me define a setup from just that information.

I am truly grateful for the time Daniela spent taking care of my many questions as I decided on equipment for skiing. There are so many measurements to deal with (Daniela mentioned ones I didn’t even know I needed to know) it was frustrating. She held my hand, and I’m confident I have something for my skill level. There are settings I know I will need some pro help on like DIN settings. I’m looking forward to hitting the slopes with my new gear. Thanks Daniela!

Jarom was responsive and understanding. He made sure he understood what I was looking for, and helped explain what he thought would be a good fit. When I approached him with another Ski, he was quick to assure me that it was a good ski, but also why he thought the one he chose would be a better fit. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Dave was FANTASTIC!

5 /5

I was in the market for a new snowboard and bindings for the 2024 season. I have had the same set up for about 10 years now and was ready to invest in a solid set up. I filled out the Curated questionnaire and was lucky to land Dave as my Curated expert. I chatted it up with Dave on what I like to do on the mountains and within 20 min I received his recommended line up of boards and bindings. Dave took the time to provide a detailed description for each board/bindings along with a personalize video as well which was so cool! Literally feel like I’m friends with the guy now, ha! I ended up going with the T. Rice Pro with the Union Falcor bindings. PUMPED for the 2024 season to rip it on my new setup! Dave is the man 🤙🏼

I came onto this website not sure what to expect, and I'm walking away with a new pair of skis and bindings that I am confident will work great for me. Hayden was super knowledgable on the many types of skis and helped me with the many many questions I had for him. He was also super fun and light hearted which made my buying experience that much better. I will definitely be recommending Hayden and this website to others looking to buy skis, and will appreciate all he did for me :)
