POC Receptor Backcountry MIPS Helmet
The POC Receptor Backcountry helmet is heavy on safety features while still providing a comfortable, well-ventilated fit.
Helmets
R.E.D. Mutiny Helmet
The R.E.D. Mutiny is a hard-shell helmet that offers a snug, comfortable fit without sacrificing venting. It also comes with a removable Gaper Gasket. (Don’t worry, we’ll explain.)
Smith Maze Helmet
Said by Smith to be the lightest certified snow helmet, The Maze is super sleek, versatile, and comfortable, but it isn’t heavy on features.
Giro Chapter Helmet
With easy-to-use vents, solid protection, and easy adjustability, the Giro Chapter is a great all-round helmet—if and when you get used to the fit.
Smith Variant Brim Helmet
The Smith Variant Brim is very good, not quite perfect. You’ll have to decide for yourself how minor or major those shortcomings are.
