Does the Smith Level have a dial fit?

Yes. The VaporFit Snow dial gives 270 degrees of fit adjustment with one turn of the dial, so you can tune the fit on the mountain.

Does the Level have Koroyd and Mips?

Yes — zonal Koroyd in the key impact zones plus Mips for rotational-impact management. Select colorways come without Mips at a lower price.

How is the Level different from the Smith Method?

The Level adds a VaporFit dial, twenty adjustable vents, and a tougher hybrid shell, where the lighter 400g Method uses a self-adjusting fit and eight fixed vents.

Description

The Smith Level Mips is an all-mountain ski helmet for skiers who range far and wide and want a lid that holds up. Its hybrid shell puts a durable exterior over a lightweight in-molded shell, so the Level shrugs off knocks and chairlift dings without turning into a heavy helmet — it weighs 550g in size M. Zonal Koroyd fills the key impact zones, and Mips is built in to help manage the twisting forces of an angled fall.

On the hill the Level is easy to live with. A rear dial cinches the fit to your head shape, twenty ports keep fresh air moving through the shell, and a climate control lets you turn airflow up or down as the weather changes. The venting is tuned to work with a matching Smith goggle so your lens stays clear, the ear pads unclip for washing or to add an audio chip, and the shell is ready for an Aleck audio system. Select colorways skip Mips at a lower price.

This is the helmet for a skier who wants one durable, adjustable lid for daily resort laps and the odd tour into the trees, rather than a stripped-down minimal shell. A helmet only protects when it fits, so come in and we will size you, set the dial snug and level, and match it to your goggle so the venting lines up. Buying online? Measure around your head just above the ears and we will confirm the size before it ships.

Smith Level Mips Ski Helmet

Level family · 26/27

MIPS

Technology

Hybrid Shell Construction

The Level blends a durable exterior with a lightweight in-molded shell, adding toughness where you take knocks while keeping size-M weight at 550g.

Koroyd (Zonal)

Welded co-polymer tubes that crumple on impact to absorb energy while staying open for airflow, placed in the Level’s key impact zones rather than full coverage.

Mips

A low-friction layer inside the helmet that lets it move a few millimeters on an angled impact, designed to reduce the rotational forces that reach your head.

VaporFit Snow Dial

A rear dial that gives 270 degrees of fit adjustment with one turn, so you can tune the fit snug on the mountain without taking the helmet off.

AirEvac Ventilation + Regulator

Twenty vents feed Smith’s AirEvac channel to route warm air out of the goggle interface and cut fogging, with a single Regulator to open or close airflow one-handed.

Features

·Hybrid shell adds durability while holding size-M weight to 550g
·Zonal Koroyd plus Mips for impact and rotational management
·VaporFit Snow dial gives 270-degree fit adjustment in one turn
·Twenty vents with a single Regulator to open or close airflow one-handed
·AirEvac goggle integration to cut lens fogging
·Removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads, audio-chip compatible
·Aleck audio system compatible
·Select colorways available without Mips at a lower price

The Smith Level Mips is Smith’s tough, do-everything all-mountain lid: a hybrid shell that blends a durable exterior with a lightweight in-molded shell for durability without much weight penalty, landing at 550g in size M. Zonal Koroyd sits in the key impact zones to absorb energy while staying open for airflow, and Mips manages the rotational forces of an angled impact. Certification is ASTM F2040 plus CE EN 1077:2007 Class B, the same all-mountain standard the pricier Smith lids carry.

The Smith Level is built to adjust on the fly. The VaporFit Snow dial gives 270 degrees of fit adjustment with one turn, and twenty vents pair with a single Regulator climate control so you can open or close airflow one-handed as the day warms up. The AirEvac channel routes warm air out of the goggle interface to cut lens fogging, the Snapfit SL2 ear pads come out and take an audio chip, and the helmet is Aleck audio compatible.

The Smith Level suits a skier who wants a dial fit and adjustable venting in a tough, still-light lid. If you want the lightest option and rarely touch a vent, the Smith Method drops to a 400g in-mold shell with eight fixed vents and no dial. If you want full Koroyd coverage and dual-regulator venting, the pricier Vantage 2 and Nexus step up. Select colorways come without Mips at a lower price.

Safety — read this

No helmet prevents all injury. The Level meets ASTM F2040 and EN 1077:2007 Class B; Koroyd and Mips are impact-management systems, not guarantees. Replace any helmet after a significant impact even if it looks undamaged, and check that the VaporFit dial holds the fit snug and level before you ride.

All-mountain skiers who want a dial fit and adjustable venting in a tough, still-light Koroyd-and-Mips lid.

Limitations

−Heavier than the 400g Method in-mold shell, at 550g
