Smith is doing great things by reinventing protection; creating helmets that go above and beyond current safety standards. This is important to Smith because riders are changing the way they ride. Meaning, they're more aggressive, riding faster and farther than ever. Smith helmet technology focuses on the different types of impacts riders encounter; low speed, high speed, rotational, and multiple-impact. Smith’s commitment to safety and advanced technology will bring you the confidence you need while riding. Before exploring the best Smith helmets available at smithoptics.com, let's break down the technology that goes into them.

MIPS Helmet Technology

Some of the best Smith helmets are available with MIPS helmet technology, otherwise known as a “multi-directional impact protection system." MIPS serves as the most advanced technology when it comes to brain protection. To protect the brain in the event of an oblique impact, MIPS reduces the rotational forces that are generated from an angled crash. Smith MIPS helmets have a sliding layer between the head and the outer shell of the helmet, which works to decrease the rotational force, ultimately lowering the chance of brain injury.

 

Aerocore™ Construction

Aerocore™ construction has four primary benefits: improved airflow and ventilation, increased impact resistance, reduced helmet volume and weight, and fog-free vision. Helmets with this feature are able to absorb more energy on impact and increase airflow with EPS and Koroyd® materials. Aerocore™ has become a popular feature among the best Smith helmets because it allows for cool air to come in and exhaust heat to exit for full breathability.

Shell Construction

Smith helmets offer a number of shells. Smith snow helmets come in Hybrid In-Mold, In-Mold, and Bombshell options. The Hybrid In-Mold incorporates a tough Bombshell material with a lightweight In-Mold technology to create the perfect, clean fit. In-Mold construction is known for its lightweight, comfortable feel that minimizes helmet weight. Bombshell construction is made of tough material to protect riders from high-impacts and ensure durability.

 

Smith Fit

The top two Smith fits are the Boa® FS360 Fit System and the Smith X Boa Fit System. The Boa FS360 has a 360-degree halo design that gives riders forward and lateral fit adjustments with the inbuilt dial system. This snug fit decreases helmet hot spots and is Smith’s best-in-class fit system. The Smith X Boa also offers an intuitive dial system for fit adjustments. This Smith helmet fit has a three-quarter haloed design for vertical and self-centering adjustability.

 

Ultimate Integration

Smith helmets also offer ultimate integration, allowing your goggles and helmet to function as one system. The technology behind this magic is the AirEvac ventilation system. AirEvac keeps warm moist air away from your goggles and eventually away from your head, maximizing airflow. This is done through precise alignment and external vents.
