The Summit was designed with input from Cody Townsend as a purpose-built backcountry helmet. It features several innovations: This is the first triple certified helmet from Smith approved for both skiing and mountaineering standards. The Smith Flexible Fit System with BOA folds for easy storage. Bungee side tethers allow this helmet to be easily lashed outside of your pack.  Slots integrated into the helmet shell capture headlamp straps.  Earpads were omitted to minimize weight while maximizing beanie and ball cap compatibility.
