Mountain bike protective gear makers are becoming increasingly pressured to produce light and strong equipment that's ideal for demanding trail sessions and downhill laps without sacrificing aesthetics. We like Smith because the brand consistently accepts that challenge, and they always come out on top with improved versions of their classic gear. With the Engage MIPS Helmet, Smith ensures breathability, strength, and lightness that's protective enough to go hard without fear.
This new model employs MIPS technology and Air Evac ventilation to keep temperatures under control and safety a priority. MIPS technology offers a low-friction liner inside the helmet for improved protection in a crash, and a Vapor Fit adjustable fit system ensures your helmet fits specifically to your noggin. There are 21 total Air Evac vents that improve breathability on your ride, and a lightweight in-mold structure ensures lightness that won't weigh you down. A three-stage visor position is ideal for utilizing goggles and sunglasses for uninhibited optics.

Comfortable but…
First mips helmet that I found was comfortable . After using it all summer I have found it shifts on my head. It’s always sitting slightly cock-eyed which has me concerned that it won’t protect my head in a crash if it’s tilted the wrong way. The helmet is worn snugly, cinched up so the internal cradle doesn’t move on my head. Every photo I have of me wearing this helmet demonstrates this derpy tilt.

Scuffs easily
I like the fit and everything about the helmet, except that the exterior is incredibly fragile. I opened the box, but it down, and immediately had scratches and scuff marks on it. I have matte black, maybe other colors are better for this.

saved me from a hospital trip
Took a huge slam on a jump line while wearing this helmet. My head took most of the impact when I went over my bars and although I opted for the more budget helmet it was not lacking in protection. The foam crumpled and the liner shifted to disperse the impact. I would recommend this helmet to everyone that doesn’t want to spend a fortune on protecting their dome piece, it’s a great lid.

Paint chips within 3 months
Loved this helmet for the first couple months of mountain biking. Within 3 months, the black matte coating has completely worn off in large sections. My new helmet now looks like I’ve had it for 10 years. I will be reaching out to Smith to see if they can provide me with a new helmet or a refund.

Great Trail Helmet
I have been riding with this helmet for about a year. Very comfortable with good airflow. No noticeable noise due to the MIPS while riding. I recently took a hard fall where I hit my head and walked away without a concussion thanks to this. The helmet did not crack or break, but I will be buying a new one to replace it. Would recommend.

Saved my head
Fell off my electric scooter going 17mph. Landed and slid on my head. The helmet took quite a beating and I’m glad I was wearing it otherwise I would definitely be concussed. I plan on repurchasing.

Careful with the color
Ive ordered the pink and navy one as I found the match really nice online. Once received, I found that the navy is not as dark as the picture. It is really lighter, it doesn’t fit great with the pink color. I will be returning it to order another color. As for the fit, it is really great.

Bad accident
The first thing to hit the cement was my head. Then my face. Then my leg. I broke two bones in my leg. But my Smith helmet saved my head. My face and legnd leg healed up fine over time. And Smith sent me a new helmet free. Great product. Great company.

XL has great fit for my large head
I have a very difficult time finding helmets that fit my 63cm + head. The XL is plenty big and I can even fit a fleece cap or balaclava underneath it.
