Price facts

The Smith Ignite Mips is a road racing helmet built for speed, with an aerodynamic shell, zonal KOROYD impact protection and a Mips liner that reduces rotational forces in angled impacts. It is designed around Smith eyewear: the vents hold your shades when you pull them off mid-ride, and the AirEvac system vents eyewear to keep lenses clear. It suits racers and fast group riders who want a light, well-ventilated helmet with integrated eyewear storage. Against rivals, it trades the raw aero focus of pure time-trial lids for all-day ventilation and comfort, and its eyewear docking is a feature most competitors lack.

Owners rate the Ignite highly, praising its light feel, secure race fit and the convenience of stashing sunglasses in the vents. A few mention that the fit runs snug and that airflow is tuned for riding fast rather than climbing slowly.
The Smith Ignite is a road race helmet with an aerodynamic shape. It uses zonal KOROYD® coverage for lightweight, ventilated, energy-absorbing impact protection. The Mips® Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces from angled impacts to the head. An integrated skeletal structure forms a roll cage for added strength.
Eyewear storage is fully integrated, and the helmet is designed to work with Smith performance eyewear for comfort, venting and storage. The AirEvac ventilation system integrates with Smith goggles and eyewear for fog-free lenses. The VaporFit™ dial adjustment system gives 270 degrees of fit adjustment.
Eight fixed vents provide consistent airflow. The Ionic+® antimicrobial lining controls odor when activated by sweat. The webbing is a lightweight, low-bulk single layer.
