Smith QUANTUM MIPS - Ski Helmet - matte deep salt

TECHNOLOGY:

MIPS: 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 and when combined with MIPS, Smith helmets absorb oblique forces better by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner.

BOA FS360: Taking customised fit to the next level, Smith introduces the Boa FS360 Fit System. With a full 360 degree halo design, this system advances the category by offering both forward and lateral fit adjustments. Feel the system fit snug to the head in a full halo, allowing for a "floating" effect that eliminates helmet hot spots. Offering Boa's standard intuitive dial system for on-the-fly micro-adjustability, along with vertical adjustment options, the Boa FS360 Fit System is a best-in-class fit system, offered in Smith's market-leading Vantage helmet.

AEROCORE BY KOROYD: Smith's objective and design philosophy behind AeroCore™ construction is to increase airflow, improve temperature regulation resulting in fog-free vision and improve impact resistance. The objective was achieved through the combination of materials such as EPS and Koroyd®, a revolutionary new material that absorbs more energy upon impact when compared to international standards, while increasing airflow. AeroCore™ construction through the use of Koroyd® and EPS allows for more vents to be placed throughout the helmet without sacrificing protection and comfort..

AIREVAC 2: The AirEvac 2 system directs hot air to the exterior of the goggles via external vents and internal channels in the expanded polystyrene coating. The air flow can be adjusted using the Regulator control system of the helmet.

FID LOCK®: Fasteners that can be opened with just one hand, even when wearing gloves. When the fastener is closed, the magnets move towards each other due to magnetic pull. Once they connect, the magnets are automatically securely locked together by the mechanical locking functionality. These attachments are extremely robust, reliable and secure.

DUAL REGULATOR: Temperature control is essential. Smith's Dual Regulator ventilation system independently controls the front and rear sections of the Vantage venting, allowing you to modulate your body temperature even in extremely cold conditions. By evacuating heat through the rear vents while maintaining a sealed front end, your body can effectively cool down if needed and prevent the dreaded brain freeze.

COMPOSITION:

Hybrid Construction: A blend of 2 constructions to optimise the positive aspects of each material.

The outer shell is made up of a resistant ABS injected shell on top of the head to help absorb shocks and a polycarbonate (PC) lower shell for lightness. It also has expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) on the inside.
