About this product

The Smith Payroll MIPS is a polycarbonate microshell cycling helmet built for enduro and trail riding, available in sizes ranging from 51 to 65 cm across Small through X-Large. MIPS technology works alongside a Koroyd and EPS (expanded polystyrene) inner structure to absorb and disperse impact energy, while an internal roll-cage-style construction adds an extra layer of protection. The VaporFit rotary dial system allows precise fit adjustment, and the 19-vent AirEvac ventilation pulls warm air away from your face to reduce goggle fogging. A 3-position adjustable visor provides sun shading and doubles as goggle storage. The Ionic+ antimicrobial lining manages moisture and odor over extended use. Weighing 400 g, the helmet meets AS/NZS 2063, EN 1078, and NTA 8776 safety standards. The Matte Ash/Roam colorway gives it a subdued, versatile look suited to a range of riding environments.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Smith Payroll MIPS for its impressive combination of safety features, comfort, and ventilation. The pairing of Koroyd impact absorption with a MIPS liner is widely highlighted as a standout protection package, and the 19-vent design keeps riders cool even on warm days. Fit is described as secure and comfortable for long rides, with the VaporFit retention system earning positive mentions. The most common criticisms center on the helmet's noticeably large, bulky appearance and the sunglasses storage system, which is considered less secure than competing helmets. Some reviewers also note the higher price point and limited color options for the Koroyd version.
