Smith Summit helmet available anywhere?

I think my 5 year old Quantum is dunzo.

You need the triple rating for events or because you climb a bunch of technical terrain?

Else the Mission is half the price and lighter. Makes a fine double-duty inbounds/touring helmet. Just pull the ear pads out and wear a beanie/ballcap as necessary.

Pads out is a given. I honestly can't believe anyone wears the ear pads in a helmet anymore but thats for a different thread.

Summit looks to be a little more low profile than the mission. Mission almost looks more bobble head than my older Quantum. Will wear it inbounds mostly but also for touring/booting couloirs/some fairly tech rock scrambling.

I was thinking about the Summit as well, but now I'm intrigued about the Mission but can't find any weight specs. What's the Mission weigh?

My medium MIPS, with pads out, weighs 380g.

Profile is fine to my taste by YMMV.

I was told November for the Summit/Nexus but all of the shops I frequent haven't gotten any in. I need a new helmet STAT so I'm probably going to grab the mission in the mean time.

what size do you need?
Smith appears to have small and medium Summit helmets on their site.

[Stuntmonkey]
