Oakley MOD1 MIPS Helmet

The Oakley MOD1 MIPS is a skate-inspired snow helmet that prioritises simplicity and performance for all-mountain riding. Its in-mold polycarbonate shell over EPS foam keeps weight down—around 907 grams—while delivering certified protection (ASTM F2040, CE) with MIPS technology for multidirectional impact absorption.

Why we rate it

The BOA 360 FIT SYSTEM provides a precision fit adjustment that works with gloves on, and the no-pressure ear cup design means you won't lose hearing or comfort. Hot air escapes through fixed top vents and through brim ventilation designed to work with goggles for better anti-fog performance. The removable liner and ear pads are machine washable, letting you adapt to changing conditions and keep the helmet fresh.

Who it's for

Unisex riders of all abilities who want a lightweight, minimal-looking helmet without sacrificing safety. The straightforward design and comfortable fit suit anyone from learners to advanced skiers and snowboarders doing all-mountain runs.
