1 / 2Smith Rodeo Helmet
Pre-order · Ships September 2026
Description
The Smith Rodeo is a value all-mountain ski helmet built around a durable ABS hard shell, Mips rotational protection, and a micro-adjustable dial fit — a simple, tough resort lid for skiers who want solid coverage without paying for premium hardware.
The ABS shell is built to take the everyday bumps and chairlift dings of a full season on snow, and most colorways include Mips, the low-friction layer that reduces the rotational forces of an angled impact. Turn the rear dial to tighten or loosen the fit without pulling the helmet off, pop the ear pads out for a form-fitting feel, and let the ten fixed vents pair with a Smith goggle so your lens stays clear. It is Aleck audio compatible, ships with a Smith helmet bag, and comes in sizes S through XL in a standard shape and a Round Contour Fit for rounder heads. A no-Mips option is offered on some colorways for skiers who want the shell for less.
A helmet does its job when it fits right, so come in and we will size you, set the dial snug and level, and match the lid to your Smith goggle so the venting lines up. Shopping online? Measure your head just above the ears and we will confirm the size before it ships.

Smith Rodeo Ski Helmet
Rodeo family · 26/27
Technology
Advanced ABS Construction
A durable ABS hard shell built to handle the routine wear and tear of a resort season while adding all-around impact protection.
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. Select colorways come without Mips.
Micro-Adjustable Dial Fit System
A dial at the back of the helmet tunes the size on the go, so you can tighten or loosen the fit over a beanie without taking the lid off.
Ten fixed vents are placed to work with a Smith goggle, channeling airflow through the goggle interface for consistent, fog-free vision.

The Smith Rodeo is Smith’s value all-mountain lid, and the story is a tough, simple build: a durable ABS hard shell made to shrug off the routine knocks and scrapes of a resort season, paired with a micro-adjustable dial fit you can tune on the go. Most colorways carry Mips to manage the rotational forces of an angled impact, and select colorways come without Mips at a lower price. Certification is ASTM F2040 plus CE EN 1077:2007 Class B, the all-mountain standard.
The Rodeo keeps the fit and venting straightforward. The dial at the back tightens or loosens the shell over a beanie without pulling the helmet off, the ear pads are removable for a form-fitting feel, and ten fixed vents are placed to work with a Smith goggle so your lens stays fog-free. The lid is Aleck audio compatible, ships with a Smith helmet bag, and comes in a Round Contour Fit for rounder heads alongside the standard shape.
This is the lid for a resort skier who wants a durable shell, Mips, and a dial fit at a value price without paying for premium construction. If you want a lighter helmet with zonal Koroyd energy management, the Smith Method Mips uses an in-mold shell and comes in lighter, though it trades away the Rodeo’s micro-adjustable dial and steps up in price. Skiers who want vents they can open and close through the day should look at an adjustable-vent Smith lid like the Vantage 2. The Rodeo weighs about 550g in size M, so it is not the choice for a gram-counter.
Safety — read this
No helmet prevents all injury. The Rodeo meets ASTM F2040 and EN 1077:2007 Class B; Mips is a rotational-impact system that reduces the rotational forces of an angled impact, not a guarantee, and it is separate from those certifications. Replace any helmet after a significant impact even if it looks undamaged, and check that the dial fit sits snug and level before you ride.

Common Questions
- How much does the Smith Rodeo weigh?
- About 550g / 19oz in size M. Its ABS hard-shell construction is durable but heavier than a light in-mold lid.
- Does the Smith Rodeo have Mips?
- Most colorways carry Mips, and select colorways are offered without Mips at a lower price. Mips reduces the rotational forces of an angled impact; it is not a certification.
- Does the Rodeo have a dial fit?
- Yes. It uses a micro-adjustable dial fit system that tunes the size on the go, plus removable ear pads for a form-fitting feel.
- Can I close the vents on the Rodeo?
- No. The Rodeo has ten fixed vents placed to work with your goggles for fog-free vision. If you want vents you can open and close, look at an adjustable-vent Smith lid like the Vantage 2.
- Is there a Round Contour Fit for the Rodeo?
- Yes. The Rodeo is offered in a Round Contour Fit tuned for rounder head shapes, alongside the standard fit.
