About
Glide Jr. MIPS
The Smith Glide Jr. MIPS is a lightweight in-mould youth helmet with Mips impact protection, an easy dial fit and a soft, fuzzy liner for warmth. Smith sizes it by head circumference, 48–59 cm across YXS–YM, rather than by age.
Fixed vents keep air flowing so goggles stay clear, AirEvac works with Smith goggles, and the goggle strap lock comes off for a streamlined shell when goggles are worn under the helmet. Size YM weighs 350 g.
