The Smith Valence MIPS is an excellent helmet for ladies looking for a sleek look and some extra protection. Made with the MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) uses a liner that can rotate upon impact to reduce the rotational forces on your head, and absorb some of the impact. Smith's AirEvac 2 Ventilation System keeps your goggles fog-free by keeping air moving through vents on the brim that have channels that run through the back of the Valence. 18 different vents are controlled by the Regulator Adjustment Climate Control that enables you to open and close the vents on demand as soon as you need to regulate your temperature to keep you extra comfortable on the mountain. The Hybrid Shell Construction feels very lightweight, and tips the scales at only 18.5 ounces. Smith's Women's X-Static Performance Lining does not feel itchy on your head, and does a great job of wicking moisture away. A Boa X Fit System dials in the perfect fit for extra comfort and a safe fit very easily.
