Why We Like The Session MIPS Helmet
Style meets ventilation for total comfort in all-mountain applications in the new Smith Session MIPS Helmet. This all-new cranium coverage keeps your noggin on lockdown with a combination of Smiths Koroyd technology and MIPS, shielding you from impacts both direct and oblique, so you can charge through rowdy rock gardens while staying ventilated as you weave your way through technical switchbacks to the top for round two. And Smith doesn't hold back on the good looks either, with a modern and sleek style that falls neatly between the previously loved Rover and Forefront, giving just a little more coverage than its cross-country cousin, but with less bulk than the enduro-ready Forefront.

Great Helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
They say a great rider has perfect posture, confidence, and skills—three qualities I lack entirely (as you can see from my photo) which is why it was so important that I get a helmet that can protect what little pink mush I have in my head. I can't say that this bucket has protected me from a critical accident, honestly, I don't ride fast enough to put myself in those positions, but I'm certainly prepared. This lid is so comfy that I've actually started putting it on even on my around-the-town rides where it's far more likely I have an accident.

Amazing helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Finally, a helmet that fits perfectly! It's comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. It is low profile without compromising coverage. I love the matte color block. Would recommend this mountain biking helmet.

Incredibly lightweight but sturdy helmet that can be easily adjusted! The whole family loves them and it is great that there are several designs to choose from.

Great Design!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this a month ago and love the design and the color. I always buy Smith because of their lifetime warranty. My measured head circumference was in between the small and the medium so I bought both to send one back and definitely needed the medium size.

Dreads and cool head
A comfortable helmet that keys my skin breathe and fits my head and dreads! Flexible and MIPS so I’m protected and bright orange more visible for when the lights are not enough at night . No matter how many reflectors in your spokes drivers are surprised by our presence .

Great helmet but pulls your hair out!
I've had this helmet for about a year and I do like everything about it, except that everytime I take it off it pulls out my hair. Hair gets stuck in the yellow circles. For the price I would've hoped they atleast had some covers to keep hair from being stuck.

Love my new lid.
Very happy with the color and fit. This replaces an older giro without mips and I’m thrilled to have a do it all helmet for in town and trail adventures. Adjustments are quick and make dialing in just the right size easy. Shipping was super fast.

Stylish and Safe
I've been waiting to pick up a mountain bike helmet and I'm glad I chose this one. The color scheme is great! The helmet itself is lightweight but feels secure. The only change I would like is a larger gap above the adjustment knob to fit my ponytail (I'm not a fan of trying to braid my hair or wear it in low pigtails - makes me look 8 years old!)
