Nexus Mips® 25/26

The Smith Nexus Mips® is designed for skiers who put in serious days—whether that means bell-to-bell resort laps or committing backcountry lines. Lightweight, low-profile, and exceptionally protective, the Nexus blends advanced impact technology with all-day comfort, so you never have to choose between safety and wearability.

At its core is complete KOROYD® coverage, a fully ventilated, energy-absorbing material that dissipates impact forces more effectively than traditional foam alone. Paired with the Mips® Brain Protection System, the Nexus is engineered to reduce rotational forces from angled impacts, delivering Smith’s most advanced level of protection to date. A hybrid shell construction reinforces high-impact zones with a durable exterior while keeping overall weight impressively low.

Fit and comfort are dialed from the inside out. The BOA® 360 Fit System wraps the entire head with micro-adjustable precision, ensuring a secure, balanced feel that stays comfortable from first chair to last descent. Inside, an Ionic+® antimicrobial liner manages moisture and odor, while the dual-regulator climate control lets you fine-tune airflow with front and rear vent adjustments—on the fly, with gloves on.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Smith goggles, the Nexus uses AirEvac™ ventilation to keep lenses fog-free, even during high-output climbs or stormy days. Thoughtful details like a Fidlock® magnetic buckle, removable ear pads, and Aleck® audio compatibility round out a helmet built for real mountain use.
