Product Information

Full details

The Smith Pilot MIPS Helmet is designed for adult mountain bike enthusiasts who prioritize safety and trail-ready comfort. Its primary benefit is the integrated MIPS Brain Protection System, which significantly reduces rotational forces during angled impacts, ensuring superior head protection. While it offers excellent ventilation and a lightweight build, potential users should note that the visor is fixed, which may not suit those who prefer adjustable or removable sun protection.

FAQs

What does MIPS stand for?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts.

Can I remove the visor?

No, the Smith Pilot MIPS features a fixed visor that is integrated into the helmet structure.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The helmet should feel snug but comfortable, sitting level on your head without shifting forward, backward, or side-to-side when you move your head.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

While it can be used for road cycling, it is specifically optimized for MTB with added rear coverage and a visor.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if it has been involved in a crash.

Does this helmet work with goggles?

The helmet is designed primarily for cycling glasses, though many standard MTB goggles may fit depending on their strap length and profile.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened

Ensure the rear cradle is positioned correctly at the base of your skull and check that the side straps are evenly balanced.

Sweat dripping into eyes

Verify that the performance comfort liner is correctly attached and consider wearing a sweat-wicking skull cap underneath.

Eyewear does not fit securely in the storage channels

Confirm that your glasses are compatible with the channel spacing and ensure they are pushed firmly into the slots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated MIPS protection for enhanced safety
  • Lightweight construction reduces neck fatigue
  • Effective ventilation layout for all-weather comfort
  • Secure dial-fit system ensures a stable ride
  • Integrated eyewear storage convenience

Cons

  • Visor is fixed and cannot be adjusted or removed
  • Limited color options compared to other series
  • Less airflow compared to open-face helmets with more vents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, loosen the dial fit system fully before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned level across the forehead, rotate the dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Adjust the side straps so that the Y-junction sits just below the ears.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the shell using only mild soap and water with a soft cloth.
  • Remove the comfort liner periodically to hand wash it in cool water with mild detergent.
  • Air dry all components in a shaded area away from direct heat sources.
  • Inspect the helmet after any significant impact, as the protective foam may be compromised even if the exterior appears undamaged.
