Smith, Forefront 3 MIPS Helmet 2025

From flowy single track to technical descents, the Smith Forefront 3 Mountain Bike Helmet has your back (and front and sides) more than ever thanks to a complete internal injected roll cage, extended back coverage and a Mips® Safety System that's integrated directly into the helmet padding for more comfort. Add venting that increases airflow by 25 percent, a micro-adjustable BOA® Fit System and complete KOROYD® coverage, and you have a helmet that's as comfortable as it is loaded with cutting-edge design and impact protection. And when you start to sweat as you climb or prepare to drop in on a descent, you can count on the 20 vents plus our AirEvac™ ventilation to keep your sunglasses or goggles fog-free. The visor adjusts for easy goggle storage between laps, and you can slide your sunglasses into the shell for secure storage on the front or back.
