Mission Helmet
The Smith Mission Helmet finds itself right at home when cruising down groomed runs at the resort or through the trees in the backcountry alike. Built with an EPS foam interior and polycarbonate shell exterior, the helmet helps to absorb impact force when taking a fall or riding past the occasional low hanging branch. Adjustable ventilation control allows for heat to escape the helmet while riding, or it can lock in warmth on extra cold days by closing the easy to use slider system. When the day lasts from first to last chair, an adjustable dial system lets the helmet take pressure off the head and allow for a comfortable fit.

Same size much smaller
I was replacing a previous Mission XL that fit perfectly. I ordered this new Mission XL and it is smaller and fits very snug. I cannot wear it.

Many Issues
It arrived with a big chunk of non-removable glue in front. The ear pads are challenging to remove, posing a risk of breakage in the process. While the foam inside the ear pads should be easily removable for replacing it with a helmet speaker, it was mistakenly glued and proved difficult to remove. Additionally, the helmet did not come with a bag, contrary to what was mentioned in the description video, which stated that the Mission comes with a Smith helmet bag.

Almost 5 stars
The helmet fits great. It keeps my head pretty warm on cold days too without having to wear any beanie cap underneath. I have Smith goggles that fit the helmet good BUT, the goggles slide out of the goggle keeper in the back of the helmet all the time. I dropped my goggles more than once this season when wearing them up on the helmet. I have never had this happen before so I think I got a bad one on my helmet honestly. So, I would give 5 stars for the fit, but you get 3 for not so great quality check on the flimsy goggle keeper on the back.

Helmet is great, but no instructions online
It’s taking me forever to find instructions so I can put in headphones without ripping the thing to shreds! It’s 2024 - have the manual SOMEWHERE on your website!

Small and not very comfortable
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- M
- Height:
- 5' 8"
- Weight:
- 190
I recently used a different Smith M size helmet and fitted perfectly, so I decided to order online the Mission helmet M size, my head circumference is 57.5cm, so I according to the size chart I should be an M. But unfortunately I can feel a lot of pressure in my head just because this runs small.

Good Helmet, but Goggle Clip Flimsy
The helmet works as intended, but it's a bit bulky for backcountry purposes (it's tight under my backpack. Additionally, the Goggle Clip is flimsy. It seems to loosen up very easily. I accidentally clipped my backpack into it, and it's now all floppy.

Great helmet! Warm, comfortable, good
Great helmet! Warm, comfortable, good ratcheting system for the head band. The vent adjustment is good. The chin strap is comfortable. Highly recommend for the price!

Great fit!
Bought this helmet for my accident prone daughter. She loved it, got the size medium. She is 6 feet tall and her head measured almost 59 cm. I decided not to size up to a large, and that was the right call.
