Vantage 2 Mips
Pickup available at Neighbourhood Sports
Usually ready in 2-4 days
The Vantage 2 is Smith's do-everything resort helmet, built around a tri-shell construction that pairs two ABS shells at the crown with a lighter polycarbonate shell lower down. Full Koroyd coverage works alongside MIPS to manage both direct impact and the rotational forces that come with an angled fall, without piling on weight.
Forty vents, split across independent top and side regulators, let you dial airflow up on a bootpack and down on a chairlift without stopping to fuss with it. The BOA 360 Fit System dials in a precise, all-around fit with one hand, the Fidlock magnetic buckle clips in even with mittens on, and the removable, washable Snapfit SL2 ear pads keep the whole thing audio-compatible and easy to clean.
