For mountain bikers looking for a stylish, great fitting helmet, look no further than the Engage. Coverage is extended on the back of the head for additional protection and the 21 vents will keep riders cool on hot days. The Engage features the secure custom fit of Smith's VaporFit™ system while the AirEvac™ channels promote airflow to prevent fogging of your eyewear. The Engage also features channels on the front of the helmet for eyewear storage, and a three-position visor that rotates high to allow for goggle storage.
That's just what SD pulled from somewhere on the Smith site when creating the deal thumbnails. If you go to the actual product page, it does not, in fact, have pictures of anyone using this helmet for snow sports.
Is this a joke? There's no comparison between the two helmets.
"instead of my road helmet"
"I feel goofy with the helmet off" as in when I stop for breaks

Why is there an attached pic of a skier wearing an unrelated helmet? This helmet is wholly inappropriate for snowsports.
Speaking of which, been in the market for a new MIPS ski helmet to retire my old non-MIPS ski helmet. This is now the 2nd helmet deal in a week I've seen for mountain biking and not for skiing. Driving me nuts!

There are often biking deals in the Fall/Winter offseason and these are last year's models. My guess is its easier to find deals on last year's snow equipment in the Spring/Summer.
Thinking of using this on the road instead of my road helmet because of the visor. Any reason why I shouldn't? I currently use a cycling cap to block the sun but I feel goofy with the helmet off so would like to ditch it.
They also have a couple of road helmets discounted to $42.50 and $60 along with others with similar discounts.

Sorry if this is dumb question, but is there a reason why I couldn't wear this just to ride around? I just ride on dirt roads around the city. Sometimes paved but not off-road at all. Been doing some reading, and it looks like I should upgrade my helmet to a MIPS helmet. This is one, and it's cheap, so....
