Product Overview
The Smith Level MIPS Helmet – Matte Black, Size Medium is a high‑performance protective headgear engineered for alpine and backcountry riders who demand both safety and style. Designed with Smith’s renowned MIPS (Multi‑Direction Impact Protection System), the helmet offers advanced rotational impact protection that reduces the risk of brain injury during falls or collisions.
Design & Materials
The helmet features a sleek matte black finish that blends seamlessly with modern ski apparel. Its outer shell is constructed from high‑density polycarbonate and expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner, providing lightweight yet robust impact absorption. The interior is lined with moisture‑wicking, breathable fabric that keeps the rider cool on steep descents.
MIPS Technology Explained
The MIPS system incorporates a low‑friction layer between the shell and the liner, allowing the helmet to rotate slightly during angled impacts. This rotation reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain, offering an additional safety margin beyond conventional helmets.
Ventilation & Comfort
Strategically placed ventilation channels promote airflow across the head, mitigating heat buildup in high‑altitude conditions. The helmet’s adjustable fit system includes a strap and buckle assembly that secures the shell while allowing fine adjustments for an individualized fit.
Fit & Sizing – Medium (55–59 cm)
The medium size accommodates head circumferences between 55 cm and 59 cm, making it suitable for most adult riders. The fit guide recommends measuring the head just above the eyebrows and below the ears to ensure optimal coverage.
Safety Standards & Certifications
The Smith Level MIPS Helmet complies with international safety standards such as EN 1078 (Europe), ASTM F1446 (USA), and AS/NZS 1698 (Australia/New Zealand). These certifications confirm rigorous testing for impact attenuation, penetration resistance, and durability.
Versatile Usage Scenarios
- Skiing & Snowboarding: Ideal for alpine slopes, backcountry tours, and freestyle parks.
- Mountain Biking: The lightweight construction and MIPS protection make it suitable for downhill and enduro rides.
- Cross‑Country Riding: Provides reliable protection without excessive bulk, perfect for long-distance touring.
Maintenance & Care Instructions
After each session, wipe the helmet’s exterior with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the shell or liner. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.

The combination of MIPS technology, lightweight polycarbonate shell, and ergonomic fit makes this helmet a top choice for riders seeking maximum protection without compromising performance. Its matte black aesthetic also offers a subtle, sophisticated look that complements any gear ensemble.
