Smith Pilot MIPS Helmet Eyes on the Prize The Pilot uses the MIPS Evolve Core low-friction liner, which allows the head to move 10-15 mm relative to the shell in all directions during an angled impact - the kind of hit that straight-line EPS foam alone isn't optimized for. That liner rides inside an in-mold polycarbonate shell fused directly to the EPS, keeping the overall build light without sacrificing structural integrity. Thirteen fixed vents move air steadily through climbs, and the Air Evac system channels exhaust air to the rear of the helmet - away from your eyewear - so your lenses stay clear. The dial fit system adjusts on the fly and accommodates a wide range of head sizes, and the integrated side channels hold your sunglasses when you're not wearing them. The Pilot sits in the middle of Smith's trail lineup: more protection and refinement than a bare-bones lid, without the cost of flagship options like the Forefront. Features MIPS Evolve Core liner uses a low-friction layer to allow 10-15 mm of independent head movement during angled impacts, reducing rotational forces transferred to the brain In-mold polycarbonate construction fuses the outer shell with the EPS liner across 5 shell sizes, minimizing weight while maintaining impact performance Air Evac ventilation system channels warm air through 13 fixed vents and exhausts it at the rear of the helmet, keeping airflow away from eyewear and lenses fog-free Adjustable dial fit system lets you fine-tune retention on the fly, with additional adjustability at the harness attachment points to fit a wide range of head shapes Integrated eyewear channels secure sunglasses or Smith goggles in dedicated side slots, keeping them stable and scratch-free between laps or during transitions | Smith | Pilot Mips Helmet Men's | Size Small In Matte Flint
