Why We Like The Ignite MIPS Helmet

Finding the right aero helmet can be a challenge. There are a number of boxes that can be tricky to check, firstly, aerodynamics, then breathability, comfort, fit, and style. The first few may be easy to tick, but many aero helmets are a bit lacking when it comes to the aesthetic department, and result in you resembling a bobblehead or cartoon character. In spite of the challenge in the design department, Smith has pushed beyond the com1petition to deliver a helmet that offers protection, aerodynamics, ventilation, and it looks damn good too, with the Ignite MIPS Helmet. The Ignite is built with Smith's signature Aerocore in-mold construction, combing a hard polycarbonate shell with EPS foam, and Koroyd material that keeps ventilation a priority, while adding something to the protection game with a honeycomb structure.

Life Saving

Purchased this helmet a few months ago based on a recommendation. As it turns out, I purchased it about 3 weeks before I was hit by a car that was traveling 60mph while cycling. Throughout my 5 weeks in the hospital, the doctors said that the helmet saved my life. I owe my life to the quality of this helmet. I’ll be a Smith customer for life.

Ignite Awesome Helmet

Finally, a Helmet that works. Great fit plenty of venting. I sweat a lot ever since I lost my my hair. Headbands, halo they work to a certain degree but this helmet paired with chromo pop lenses are a game changer. It’s hot in South Fl

Great for speed great for crash

I love this helmet it’s fast and cool, I live in the Deep South USA, and this past Saturday I had a bad crash which resulted in contusions on my ribs and right kidney. Could’ve been worse though my ignite saved my head. It’s busted up but my head is fine. Fixing to buy another!

5 stars road helmet

Fits really well to my Asian head contours. Padding is just right, provides the right comfort with minimal weight. Adjustment is top notch as it really fits to my head just snugly. Awesome built!

Great Helmet

The Ignite is a great helmet. The shape and fit of the helmet works well with my headshape. A key feature for me is the integration of the helmet with Smith's sunglasses. Being able to stow glasses away in the vents and having confidence that they then won't fall out is a huge win in my book. I went through many combinations and returns before finding the Smith combination of helmet and glasses. My hope is that all future designs for both helmet and glasses have this key integration in mind. I'm glad that I came up on the Smith brand.
