About this product

The Smith Network MIPS is a road cycling helmet built for riders who want reliable protection without sacrificing comfort. Its polycarbonate shell uses a molded-in construction, while the co-polymer EPS liner incorporates zonal Koroyd panels that provide consistent energy absorption across impact zones. MIPS technology adds a low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during a fall. Fit is handled by the VaporFit rotary dial adjustment system, which allows precise sizing across three circumference options: 51 to 55 cm (Small), 55 to 59 cm (Medium), and 59 to 62 cm (Large). The 20-vent AirEvac ventilation system channels warm air away from the face to limit lens fogging, while X-Static liner pads with reactive cooling treatment help manage moisture. A removable visor insert provides shade on bright days. The helmet meets CPSC and EN 1078 safety ratings and weighs just 270 g, making it a practical choice for extended road rides.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Smith Network MIPS for its stylish, modern design and strong safety credentials, combining both MIPS and Koroyd impact protection technology. The VaporFit retention system earns frequent compliments for accommodating a wide range of head shapes, and most users find the fit comfortable and secure. The helmet is widely considered a good value for its price point and is noted as versatile enough for road, gravel, and commuting. The most common criticisms center on ventilation, which some expert reviewers find underwhelming compared to competitors, particularly on hot or fast-paced rides. Weight is also flagged as slightly above average. A recurring user complaint involves the chin straps, which some find difficult to adjust and prone to not lying flat. A smaller number of users report that interior padding wears down or loosens with heavy use over time.
