Why We Like The Level MIPS Helmet
When we head to the resort, we strap Smith's Level Helmet to our dome every time we click in. This is one of Smith's newer, lighter helmets designed with a hybrid Aerocore construction and honeycomb-shaped Koroyd inserts to increase levels of protection while minimizing weight. The hybrid construction combines tough ABS with flyweight in-mold technology for a light, protective fit.

The helmet fit comfortably and
The helmet fit comfortably and follows the size guide. The padding and liner is plenty warm and comfortable. The adjustable vents are nice as long as you can remember which way open and which way is closed.

Smith Does Not Stand Behind Products
Purchased a Smith Level ski helmet in red and it has faded to pink over the last ski season. I am a male who does not want to wear a pink helmet. Contacted Smith and they will not warranty product, they don’t care that their product is defective cosmetically. Keep this in mind when purchasing Smith merchandise.

Great Helmet and Love the Audio Compatibility
I decided it was time to upgrade helmets this season and wanted an audio compatible one. This is my first Smith helmet and first audio compatible helmet, so I wanted to used it for several ski days, in a variety of conditions before my review. Overall, it is a great helmet, in a variety of conditions, from cold mid-winter to warmer spring skiing. The one drawback I noticed is the ear flaps let a fair amount of air by versus my old helmet, which led to cold ears during colder and windier ski days. On the other hand, the adjustable vents were great during warmer ski days to keep from overheating. I wear a 7-1/2 fitted baseball cap, and the Large size fits well either with nothing else on, or with a balaclava on the colder days. As for the audio, now that I figured out how it works I love the ability to have background music without having ear buds in my ears that hinder my ability to hear other skiers or snow equipment. Since this was my first audio helmet, I did not know that there were removable foam pads in each ear flap that need to be removed so your music chips fit better. On my first ski day, I unzipped the access pocket and put the chips in each ear flap, but left the pads in (totally my fault but not explained in the very brief instruction manual that came with the helmet). Of course the sound was very muffled and the ear flaps were uncomfortable after a couple hours of skiing with the extra bulk. When I got home, a buddy explained the removable pads (he has a Smith helmet) to me. Once I removed them, which was very easy, sound is great at low volume, and the helmet is all-day comfortable as expected. I mention this issue for anyone new to Smith audio compatible helmets, as I was, since it makes a huge difference but is not explained in the instructions. It seems intuitive now, but as a new helmet owner I was hesitant to start pulling stuff out of the flaps if it wasn't supposed to come out. All together I put roughly a dozen days on the new helmet this season, and would definitely purchase it again for its comfort and high quality safety features.

runs small and a bit heavy but nice tech
bad: i've worn a size L my entire life in smith. for some reason this helmet runs super small and gives me a massive headache. so SIZE UP. it's also a good bit heavier feeling than my previous variance. the great: the helmet is super tech heavy. the venting is great, and the thing just *feels* so much more solid and secure than any helmet i've ever worn. i hope to never test it out in an accident, but if i do, i feel good about how it will treat me.

Love this helmet- fits very comfortably and my head is neither too hot nor too cold and I've skied in 0F, icy rain, and blizzard conditions. My friend crashed into me while riding and I took a very hard hit to the head - helmet did it's job and I walked away just fine. I could feel and hear the back of the helmet taking the impact exactly how it's supposed to. I feel extremely safe wearing this helmet.

Jury is out - possible defect
Got the Level helmet as a gift an it’s comfortable and fits great but the VaporFit Snow™ dial adjustment system occasionally loosens all by itself. Not sure if it’s something I’m doing or if it’s a defect.

Best helmet
I’m writing this review as a retire this helmet after two 50+ day seasons and some gnarly smashes. Top notch in every aspect…fit, feel, warm when the vents are closed and cool when they’re open and the ear pieces removed. Works well with airpods and the goggle strap is very easy to use with gloves or mitts on. The helmet still works fine, its just seen too many impacts and im replacing it with another

This helmet fits great, looks good, and the adjustable vents are awesome. The only two things I don't like- as far as I can tell there's no way to remove the ear pads (if there's a way it certainly isn't quick and easy) and it gets REALLY hot on warm spring days. If you're not moving and in the sun for a few minutes, you'll be roasting.

I wore this helmet in spring weather during skiing in NorthEast. Temp were in mid 40?s to mid 60?s. Ventilation worked great. It didn?t feel heavy at all. Happy with purchase. Fit was great. Helmet never moved during bumps.
