Our take on the Smith Session MIPS Bike Helmet

The Smith Session is an all-mountain and trail helmet that uses Smith's Koroyd tube construction in the impact zones, paired with MIPS for rotational protection. It has large vents with internal air channels, a three-position visor and front vents that hold goggles or sunglasses. It suits trail and enduro riders who want a light, well-ventilated helmet with goggle storage. Against rivals it trades the full-coverage shell of a dedicated enduro lid for lighter weight and better airflow, and it sits below Smith's Forefront and Mainline in coverage.

About the Smith Session MIPS Bike Helmet

The Smith Session MIPS Bike Helmet is a bike helmet with MIPS protection. It uses Koroyd-style construction like Smith's other high-end helmets, which keeps the protection lightweight.

Large air ports and internal channeling move air through the helmet for ventilation.

The visor adjusts at three points. Channels at the front of the helmet hold goggles or sunglasses when you aren't wearing them.

Questions and answers

Is the Smith Session good for enduro riding?
It works for enduro, but it has less rear coverage than a full enduro helmet. Riders who prioritize airflow and weight over maximum coverage will be happy with it.
Does it work with goggles?
Yes. The front vents are shaped to hold goggles, and the three-position visor can be raised to make room.
How does it compare with the Smith Forefront?
Both use Koroyd and MIPS. The Session has a rounder shape and a more adjustable visor, while the Forefront is aimed more at trail riders who want a different fit.
What is MIPS on this helmet?
MIPS is a low-friction layer that lets the shell slide slightly on impact to reduce rotational force. It works alongside the Koroyd core.
Can I replace the Koroyd core after a crash?
Smith designs the Koroyd liner as part of the helmet's protection, so a hard hit means replacing the helmet rather than the core alone.
Is it comfortable for long rides?
Owners generally find it comfortable once the fit is dialed in, and the ventilation helps on long climbs.
Where is the Smith Session MIPS Bike Helmet cheapest?
At Sports Basement, for $160.00, as of our latest check.
