Description

When you spend more days on the mountain than off, the Smith Nexus is your helmet for bomber protection that holds up season after season. In addition to a hybrid shell that balances a lightweight, low-profile design with a durable hardshell exterior, the Nexus steps up impact coverage with KOROYD® throughout the helmet, a fully-vented material that absorbs more energy in a crash than traditional foam construction alone. Add Mips® for increased safety during angled impacts, and you have our most advanced helmet design. Since all this protection is useless if you don’t want to wear it, we dialed up the comfort level with a micro-adjustable BOA® 360 Fit System that adapts to your whole head. A sweat-wicking, odor-fighting liner keeps you warm, while a front and rear adjustable 24-vent design lets you regulate airflow as needed.

Reviews

Dangerous Internal Construction

"This helmet was purchased as a gift. Due to errors in the sizing chart, a L was ordered and had to be tightened so much that the internal construction rubbed and cut above both ears. This was only noticed when preparing to ski, and when attempting to exchange it, Smith (or realistically the virtual assistant) showed no flexibility. It was a Christmas gift and just now had the opportunity to try it on. So disappointing, will purchase from a different company going forward."

— Leland M. (1/5)

"We got the Nexus for our 11 year old. We tried many helmets and he found the Nexus the most comfortable even though it is an “adult” helmet. The helmet has been worth the investment and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for the very best helmet for themselves or their kids."

— Ajit (5/5)

Quality Ski helmet

"Delivery was a bit slow, however due to quality & fit, I give it a 5 out of 5"

— Loren B. (5/5)

Amazing Helmet

"This is the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever owned."

— Shelley V. (5/5)

Great helmet!

"Bought this helmet for my husband. He loves all the features - ventilation, protection and the built in speakers."

— Leslie G. (5/5)

Dual vent sliders are a design flaw in the cold

"I purchased the Nexus because of its superb venting features, but after using it in cold (non-venting weather) conditions I discovered that when both vent sliders are in the forward position there is an uncovered opening at the back end of the forward slider that acts as a permanently open vent. I was not wearing anything under the helmet (just hair) and noticed that the upper part of my head was cold and experiencing a breeze. I'm very surprised that Smith's top of the line/most expensive helmet has this design flaw. I know the permanently open vent at the top of my head won't be a huge deal on many warmer days, but on cold days it's very disappointing. A well vented helmet made for skiing should perform equally well in the warm as well as the cold."

— Pete J. (2/5)

Ski Helmet Purchase

"The online ski helmet purchase was easy. Smith shipped the following day."

— David K. (5/5)

Great fit

"This helmet is true to size and warm without feeling claustrophobic. I recommend."

— KATHERINE N. (5/5)

Incredible helmet.

"Extremely comfortable, looks great and the oval shape allowed me to size down from my normal XL needs and match up with the recommended measurements for once."

— Pat M. (5/5)

Love it!

"Fits amazing, the vents are great for controlling temperature, and the fidlock, makes taking it on and off incredibly easy."

— Kyle (5/5)
