Pret Effect Helmet
“The Pret Effect is a well-designed, comfortable helmet that has a variety of smart features—including innovative magnetic buckles. I think it’s one of the best helmets I’ve used.”
Helmets
POC Fornix Backcountry MIPS Helmet
The POC Fornix Backcountry MIPS is comfortable and light, and it has the MIPS system which may provide some extra protection in an oblique, rotating fall.
First Look: CAMP Pulse Helmet
Blister reviewer Iris Neary takes a first look at the CAMP Pulse, one of the few combo climbing/skiing helmets on the market.
Bern Baker EPS Helmet
The Bern Baker EPS helmet has a good fit, clean look, and great durability. Which only leaves one question: to vent, or not to vent?
Bern Watts Carbon Fiber Helmet
A new update on a classic look, the Bern Watts Carbon Fiber is a versatile, lightweight, all-season helmet.
Smith Allure Helmet
The lightweight and comfortable Smith Allure helmet is a good choice for women looking for a helmet with a minimal feel.
POC Receptor Backcountry MIPS Helmet
The POC Receptor Backcountry helmet is heavy on safety features while still providing a comfortable, well-ventilated fit.
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.
