Survey Snow Helmet with MIPS

This is a beautiful, sleek setup. Helmet fit is great. And it's true, the visor affords better peripheral vision than traditional goggles. That said, two issues that could break the deal: when it's snowy, the snow/ice comes into the visor and crusts it over. It's truly unusable in inclement weather, which you have to expect on nearly any day on the slopes. Other issue, the ear padding is so thick it's very difficult to hear conversation. I wanted some coverage for foul weather so ended up ripping out the padding while keeping the basic padding cover.

Winter inevitably comes. Along with it is the need to continue riding the bike. The classic summer bike helmet just doesn't work in the wintertime as it's just too full of holes for ventilation. Enter the Smith Survey Snow helmet. It has enough ventilation to keep the visor from fogging, but not enough to make your head cold. It has better protection than ANY bike helmet. It keeps your ears warm without blocking exterior sounds. The flip up visor allows you to lift it up when needed even if you wear glasses like I do. The bright white color provides good riding visibility. In short, it's the best winter bike helmet I have found so far. Thanks, SMITH

I loved this helmet the first two days we were skiing, then it started to snow. The vents in the top of the helmet allow snow in, a lot of snow. I had about an inch of snow in my goggles and could not ski. I ended up putting bandaids over the top of the holes, but that didn’t allow any venting. Very poor design. I wanted to love this helmet. If your using it for sunny no snow days, it’s great, but I’m not going to travel with two helmets z

I purchased this helmet in December of 2023 thinking the integrated googles would work well. The first time on the hill while it was snowing, snow entered in from the sides and completely filled up the inside of the goggle. This helmet with integrated google works great on blue bird days but when it's snowing out it's worthless.
