People who spend $600+ on a board/skis shouldn’t care how much their helmet costs when your brain is the most important thing you can protect, I cracked my Bern helmet last year hitting a super pipe and now I’m all in on getting wavecel or mips; protect your brain people it’s so valuable

I couldn't agree more. There are just some things you shouldn't cheap out on. As a motorcycle rider I always cringe when I see people wearing the $39 Bilt helmets made by Cycle Gear. I know not everyone can spend $500+ on a top of the line helmet, but you should at least be exploring mid range options and added safety features. You only get one brain and once that's damaged sometimes it's forever.

More companies need to adopt crash tech into their helmets! Mips and wave cell are are super handy. I love your smith maze story too, im starting to think everyone buys a smith maze by accident

Yes! This is what I waited for, thank you

Awesome!

I have the Oakley Mod3. I like it quite a bit. Mips and Boa are nice. It’s light weight and you can adjust the vents on it so you don’t need a bulky hat underneath to stay warm. And I rode with it at Timberline this summer and didn’t overheat. I’ve crashed a few times with it and I think it’s holding up nicely. I know you’re supposed to get a new helmet if you’ve hit your helmet after one time according to Save a Brain, but I think the Mod3 can take a few knocks. Just my opinion though!! Thanks for the reviews.

I just scored a new Giro Ledge MIPS for $45. It’s everything you say it is, and a bag of chips. It’s NICE. Thanks! 🙏

Hey, man! Thanks for the awesome videos. Do you buy one size larger so it doesn't get too tight when wearing beanies? Thanks in advance!

glad you mentioned the giro ledge definitely going to be picking one up for this season

Heavy as hell compared to others imo.. opted for the method mips instead

Coming from a motorcycle wreck to wanting to try out snow sports, I cannot be more clear just how important mips is

Cool! Thanks! I appreciate it! You really do a good job teaching and making sure people are ok and happy! I have an Anon wave cell, been through 3 Smith helmet, all with MIPS, and I also had a K2 for awhile! And whatever I could get before that. Thanks again man! Cool helmets too!

Worth noting that Smith Maze (or Allure -- same helmet as Maze but with black logo) have a MIPS versions as well. Extra $20 bucks for more safety is worth it.

I was on the lift at Big Bear and watched as a guy, who was just sitting down resting, was hit in the back of his head by the snowboard of another rider who had slipped and was sliding on his back. His board went up and smashed the guy who was not wearing a helmet. I had never wanted one before because I felt safe but I immediately went and bought one. Always wear one because it protects you from yourself and from others.

I'm sitting here after a snowboarding accident (01.03.), don't know what happened but I definitely need a new helmet. Having an accident is bad, having an accident and not knowing anything about it really sucks, protect your brains 😅 ride safe!

Smith Code is good, too. When I bought it a few years ago, Smith Maze didn't have MIPS yet. That's why I went for Smith Code, which already had MIPS. They have regular fit for oval head and Asian fit for round head. Of course, now that Maze has MIPS and it's slightly lighter, there is not much reason to spend $20+ more to get Code any more. But the inside of Code is better constructed than the inside of Maze (from I see in this video).

Would also like to add about the internals of the Code that its like a proper hat and it sits between your head and the MIPS shell, which makes it a nicer fit than Maze with just a few padded lines directly on MIPS shell. Pity that Turkish Airlines crushed my Code :) Buying something different this time.

@SnowboardProCamp The fall at 0:32 where your lenses fell off. First of all, I'm glad you're ok. Do you remember if those goggles were the Anon M4s? If so, does that happen often?

Hi kevin, i have anon m4 goggles, can and should i combine these with e.g. the smith maze helmet?

was that your Anon lens that popped off the frame when you crashed at the end of the video? Anon prob has the best magnetic lens system, but still came off the frame!!! So I guess regular old Line Miners will be a better choice in terms of lens security compared to magnetic lenses. Great video!!!!

Just in time

Hands down if I don’t have a helmet I won’t ride that day. I’m new and only been 19x since last season. One day I got off the lift and buckled in. I’m going about 5mph trying to figure which run at Timberline I wanna hit. Out of nowhere I’m down and felt like I got hit by a truck. I caught an edge and fell without knowing it. I was dazed for 10 seconds but I got up and broke my speed record. If I wasn’t wearing a helmet 🪖 well I might not had of made it and at the least my day would of been over. Helmets save brains 🧠

Would be nicer if the vents could open and close. Makes them more versatile.

i want to love the maze. i bought it because everyone recommends it but it is definitely for people with round heads. I have an oval head and it squeezes the front and back of my head but there are huge gaps on the side. I returned it for a Giro Trig with mips. i love that helmet so much

Had the opposite problem with Mazes I tried. The regular fit was way to ovular and I had to go with the "round contour". I'm kinda in-between though but the round felt a lot better. Never had that problem with any other brand before except for Sweet Protection - theirs even more ovular.

Which Size do you wear in Smith Maze?

Swapped from giro to smith maze season just gone in Nz and strap at back of my head rubs a bit - but I don’t wear hat under my helmet so you’d have that extra layer. Also noticed in small size they don’t fit the anon M4s quite as well as the giro did. Love how light it is though

Per the companies suggestion (in this case, Smith for the Maze), a thin balaclava is the only thing you should wear, if anything at all. It will indeed impact the safety performance of MIPS in the event of a crash. I would love if Kevin (@snowboardprocamp) addressed this in his reviews.
