Why We Like The Smith Survey MIPS Helmet
Designed to fit seamlessly over our glasses, the Smith Survey MIPS Helmet combines a lightweight, all-mountain design and an integrated ChromoPop visor to simplify our ski kit. Smith doesn't sacrifice safety with this helmet either. A MIPS liner works to reduce rotational forces in the case of a head impact while the zones of Koroyd coverage offer energy-absorbing impact protection. 14 vents are accompanied by a one-handed adjustment so we can dump heat when the sun pops out.

Not for snowy weather
This is a beautiful, sleek setup. Helmet fit is great. And it's true, the visor affords better peripheral vision than traditional goggles. That said, two issues that could break the deal: when it's snowy, the snow/ice comes into the visor and crusts it over. It's truly unusable in inclement weather, which you have to expect on nearly any day on the slopes. Other issue, the ear padding is so thick it's very difficult to hear conversation. I wanted some coverage for foul weather so ended up ripping out the padding while keeping the basic padding cover.

GREAT winter bicycle helmet!!
Winter inevitably comes. Along with it is the need to continue riding the bike. The classic summer bike helmet just doesn't work in the wintertime as it's just too full of holes for ventilation. Enter the Smith Survey Snow helmet. It has enough ventilation to keep the visor from fogging, but not enough to make your head cold. It has better protection than ANY bike helmet. It keeps your ears warm without blocking exterior sounds. The flip up visor allows you to lift it up when needed even if you wear glasses like I do. The bright white color provides good riding visibility. In short, it's the best winter bike helmet I have found so far. Thanks, SMITH

Holes let snow in
I loved this helmet the first two days we were skiing, then it started to snow. The vents in the top of the helmet allow snow in, a lot of snow. I had about an inch of snow in my goggles and could not ski. I ended up putting bandaids over the top of the holes, but that didn’t allow any venting. Very poor design. I wanted to love this helmet. If your using it for sunny no snow days, it’s great, but I’m not going to travel with two helmets z

Avoid if Skiing when it snows
I purchased this helmet in December of 2023 thinking the integrated googles would work well. The first time on the hill while it was snowing, snow entered in from the sides and completely filled up the inside of the goggle. This helmet with integrated google works great on blue bird days but when it's snowing out it's worthless.

Not a good fit
Returned because of fit. Since goggles can’t be adjusted, it didn’t work for me.

Yes, smith has a great warranty and support. No, Yes, some snow might get in between you helmet and forehead. Wear a thin head covering. Yes, it doesn’t seal perfectly around your face like goggles. Yes, replacement visors are a thing if you can find them. Yes, smith seems to struggle with supply chain for replacement lenses.

Great System, Get the photochromatic lens.
Love the photochromatic lens. Super light helmet barely feels it is on. I added the Aleck nunchucks and it sounds great. A couple of improvements points. (a better protection for the lens when stowed away, maybe a whole helmet rigid case or a rigid cover for the lens. Also, the earmuffs out pressure on the ears when using with the audio system.

Lens fogs up easily and is hard to wipe. I LOVE the flip down design!

Smith helmet
The goggles don’t click easily down and hold in position. I do like the transition or graduated lenses

Happy I took a chance.
Pretty close to perfect. Clear vision. Good range of view. Seems like a quality product. Figuring out different ways to adjust helmet so goggles tighten to face.
