“I was requested to get a new low profile ski helmet by my youngest nephew who helps me a lot with odds and ends. You always want to protect your loved ones, so I researched a helmet with MIPS technology and the Smith Level was prefect for him with all the features and we both loved the orange and black for visibility and a match with his skis. He also has a big dome, like me, so this low profile helmet was a natural fit!”

“I own another Smith helmet for mountain biking and though that I could use the same sizing for a ski helmet. At first the helmet was much tighter than my MTB helmet despite being fit for the same size (L). After taking it out a few times so far this season, the helmet ended up being a great fit. It is snug, so there isn't much room for a layer underneath like a skullcap or beanie, but the helmet has provided adequate warmth in 0° weather here in CO.
The MIPS system is very easy to use and allows for the most comfortable, yet tight fit you can get. The reason that I started trusting this system was because a family member got into what would have been a life-threatening accident, but was out of the ICU within a week of the accident due to their new MIPS equipped Smith helmet. Because of this, I am drawn to the brand, and because of the comfort and protection, I will continue to use the product. The only thing that I might have done differently was gotten an XL and cranked down on the MIPS so that I had the ability to wear an extra layer if need be. Other than that, great helmet!”

“Very comfortable and warm helmet. The vents work well on warmer days. The helmet works really well with Smith goggles - integrated venting virtually eliminates fogging. I have had a couple of hard falls on ice - Great protection!”

“Plenty warm on the cold days, and the vents are great for the spring days.
This is my second time with this helmet - I took a rough fall on the first one and cracked the helmet wide open, but my head was totally fine. I trust the Smith Level with protecting my noggin”
