Durable and well-designed

Expert verdict

The Smith Scout MIPS Helmet is a lower cost helmet option that offers safety, style, and comfort in a well-equipped package. Any helmet is better than no helmet, but one that offers MIPS adds an extra level of peace of mind. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System and protects your brain from the impact of a rotational force (think slip and fall) as well as a blunt force (think tree branch). The fixed venting, removable ear cuffs and simple design offer a cool and comfortable helmet with a stylish and sleek look. While it lacks some of the features of higher priced helmets, this helmet offers an incredible value and its all-season certification means you can wear it in the skate park or around the BMX track too. It's a solid choice for those who value safety, but also want to look good and be safe.

Bombshell durability. Check. MIPS® multi-directional impact protection. Check. The Smith Scout ski and snowboard helmet blends everyday hardshell durability with the latest impact-absorbing tech so you can dial in your bag of tricks in the park or anywhere on the hill. Because no two people are the same, its lifestyle fit adapts to your head. Pull the ear pads come spring, or add a beanie on the coldest storm days. No matter the weather, eight fixed vents keep the air flowing for fog-free goggles and climate controlled comfort. All-season certification means you can wear it in the skate park and on your bike, too.

Sizing off

Originally posted at www.smithoptics.com on Dec 6, 2024
This helmet sizing was off for me. I am normally a medium and the fit for this model was tighter than other smith models I’ve worn. Super disappointing returning since I have to pay $10 shipping.

Amazing service from Kyle!
5 /5
Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in helping me choose the perfect package for me (Roxy Dawn + Union Rosa + ThirtyTwo STW Double BOA). He took the time to explain the differences between boards, bindings, and boots, making sure I got the perfect setup for my skill level. His expertise and friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Kyle for anyone needing snowboard gear advice—thanks again! ⛷️🏂😊

5 /5
Thank you Casey🤙🏼 much love and I appreciate your time and expertise. Casey was knowledgeable, supportive, listened to my worries and needs. Casey Worked with me on multiple options for my new equipment. Casey was very responsive, checked in with me to make sure this was the right purchase for me. Casey also let me know that the board I was debating on purchasing had a low stock left. I did finally purchased my new board. I held off on buying bindings. I only did that because, what I wanted was out of stock. Casey, The mountains are calling, and I must go."

She never gave up and kept me updated on deals that would better work with my budget yet still provide me the support and structure in a board that I needed for my plans in pursuing this sport! I really appreciated her help even though I wasn’t very responsive and that just goes to show her determination. Honestly a gem!

I know nothing about skis and this was so easy!
5 /5
I've been skiing for about 6 years now but have spent all that time learning how now to bust my butt, and not about the actual gear. I knew I was ready to upgrade the second-hand beginner skis I bought 7 years ago but had no idea where to start. Ben did all the leg work for me, gave me easy to understand feedback about his choices, and then answered all of my questions. 12/10 would recommend!

As a first-time buyer of any snowboarding equipment, I had no idea what I was looking for. With his personalized informative video, he explained why he suggested me certain items, explained specs, and overall taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Everything was 'curated' for me. Amazing job Billy!

Spent a few hours researching on my own and stumbled across Curated and Mike was my expert and within 20-30mins I ordered my first ever Snowboard, boots and bindings all within my estimated budget.

I've been eyeing these VANS for awhile, but just never pulled the trigger on them. When I was letting Scott know what I wanted, these and the Encore OG were his choices for me! Luckily both were great prices! I took a few days to think about it and now I'm excited that they're finally on their way! Thanks, Scott!
