Ventilation is probably the most important part of any helmet and Smith designed this helmet perfectly. Adjustable vents are the key to keeping you warm or cooling you down and they have to be easy to adjust and have enough of them to regulate those temperature changes. This two piece helmet has 21 vents! The helmet also features Dual Regulator vent controls. This means the front and rear vents are controlled by two separate switches. Each switch then has 3 positions, closed, halfway open and fully open. The Vantage helmet also features a BOA closure on the back for adjusting the fit of the helmet. Even with all these features the helmet still weighs just under a pound!

Two stage adjustable vents on the Smith Vantage. Key to improving your ski/snowboard experience. |
Best all around helmet I have ever worn for ski/snowboarding. It is low profile, comfortable and ventilates extremely well. If you can overlook the one or two small things it does not do well, you will be very impressed.
