Why We Like The Vantage Helmet

We strap into Smith's Vantage Helmet to experience comfortable protection like never before. Its innovative Hybrid SL shell construction combines Smith's bombshell ABS material at the top of the helmet along with a flyweight In-Mold technology around the sides, so we get a great fit without sacrificing defense. Aerocore Technology covers our dome with four Koroyd inserts, which absorb a high level of energy on impact while allowing air to pass through. The AirEvac 2 Ventilation system provides constant airflow by moving cool air through external vents below the brim and pushing warm air out of the 21 vents across the top of your helmet. If we get too cold, the vents close with a dual-regulating switch at the top of the helmet that's easy to adjust even with gloves on.

Don’t waste your time and money on Vantage helmets which are not properly designed. Tha helmet had a set of rubber band bungees in the back the are supposed to hold your goggles strap in place. The problem is that after a short time that rubber bungee stretches out. Recently, I lost a pair of Oakley goggles that way. Luckily, someone was kind enough to turn them in to lost and found.

This helmet adjusts to fit perfectly and is really comfortable and warm. Vents work great and I love the flexibility of the dual vent system. Obviously a quality helmet compared to the others I tried on

Great ski helmet fits perfectly

Great ski helmet fits perfectly based on the measurement of my head. I tried other brand ski goggles with it but they didn’t fit that well so I purchased Smith OTG goggles and I’m set to go. Very happy and ordering online was easy and they were delivered on time.

Space helmet

When I upgraded to this helmet I immediately realized i was waaaay over due for a new ski helmet. Putting it on for the first time, I felt like I was donning a state-of-the-art space helmet compared to my outdated old brain bucket. The difference in safety and comfort was remarkable. The added sense of security that this helmet provides is hard to overstate. It's not just a piece of protective gear; it's a peace of mind. The design and technology in this helmet made me feel well-protected and, perhaps, a little overconfident at times – but isn't that what a great helmet should do? I wholeheartedly recommend this helmet to anyone in need of an upgrade. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a beginner hitting the slopes, this helmet is a game-changer. It's a perfect blend of style, comfort, and, most importantly, safety (Safety third).

Fits great with adjustment wheel.

Fits great with adjustment wheel. Comfortable. Nylon wire sometimes causes pain on ear. Should be able to fix with tape. Lower section of helmet changed color/faded and no longer matches top.

overall, a good helmet. used

overall, a good helmet. used it 3 times this ski season. good fit, insulation, and ventilation. though I do not like the goggle retention. I would rather have something a bit better than a simple bungy. also, it can be a little hard to feel the ventilation tabs when wearing gloves/mittens.

Good Helmet!

Helmet is very comfortable and plenty of ventilation. In addition, the design of this helmet is much better than what is common out there.
