By fusing our tough bombshell ABS construction with flyweight in-Mould technology, our Hybrid Shell construction optimizes the favorable traits of each material in this revolutionary process. The result is a modern design that provides a lightweight, low profile, perfectly fitting helmet. Hybrid Shell construction also creates a clean, smooth top surface by enabling the low profile Regulator to function with reduced mass & volume. Single Regulator Adjustable Ventilation: Adjustable, easy to use & extremely effective climate control, our low profile Regulator ventilation system means that you can modify the amount of airflow & heat exhaust even with a gloved h&. MIPS (Multi directional impact protection system): MIPS is used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique impact. Smith helmets are created to absorb direct impacts very efficiently & when combined with MIPS, Smith helmets absorb oblique forces better by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner. Smith X Boa® Fit System: The Smith x Boa® fit system is a custom developed, Smith exclusive piece. Building on the proven fit of our ergonomic head form, it offers an intuitive dial system for on-the-fly, single-handed micro-adjustment. This three-quarter haloed design offers key features of self-centering & vertical adjustability, allowing the user to achieve a perfectly customized fit. Air Evac 2 Ventilation: Air Evac 2 continues to drive the warm air away from the goggle through external vents & internal channels in the EPS liner. Internal airflow can be adjusted through the helmet’s Regulator climate control system.
