Smith: Vantage MIPS – Matte French Navy

Product Details

The Vantage MIPS helmet in Matte French Navy from Smith.

When you’re dedicated to skiing or riding all season long, little things make a big difference when it comes to comfort, safety, and durability. The Smith Vantage helmet is loaded with tech that makes a difference. Zonal Koroyd⢠coverage for energy-absorbing impact protection to give you confidence while exploring in or out of bounds. The hybrid shell enhances day-to-day durability and includes a full 21 vents with dual adjustability which lets you fine-tune airflow to meet the conditions. As for fit, The Vantage uses the BOA® 360 Fit System for the ability to micro-adjust the size around your whole head with the turn of dial.

Features:

• MIPS® Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head
• Hybrid shell construction blends a durable exterior with a lightweight in-molded shell for durability where you need it most while keeping the helmet light
• Zonal Koroyd® coverage for lightweight, energy-absorbing and ventilated impact protection
• AirEvac⢠ventilation system
• BOA® 360 Fit System offers the most adjustable fit with the turn of a dial for on-the-fly micro-adjustability
• Dual regulator climate control offers easy, one-handed front and rear vent adjustment
• 21 vents
• Removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads add warmth and are audio-chip compatible

MIPS:
MIPS is used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique (angled) 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. MIPS in action – When you fall to the ground at an angle rotational forces are generated. A helmet integrating MIPS technology creates a sliding layer between the outer shell and the head. This allows the helmet’s outer shell to slide relative to the head when hitting the ground, so the rotational force is decreased, reducing the potential to damage your brain.

Adjust helmet size – dial fit system:

Located at the back of the helmet. The Dial Fit System utilises intuitive righty-tighty and lefty-loosey adjustment for quick, easy, on-the-fly adjustments and a comfortable fit every time.

AirEvac2â¢: Constant flow:
AirEvac 2 continues to drive the warm air away from your goggles through external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner. Internal airflow can be adjusted through the helmet’s Regulator climate control system.

Koroyd®:
Koroyd® provides superior impact absorption, design flexibility, and ventilation when compared to materials traditionally used in helmet construction. By utilizing crumple-zone cylinders that crush uniformly on impact, Koroyd® manages energy more efficiently with less volume than any other protection material on the market. Unlike traditional protection materials, Koroyd® cylinders absorb and convert more kinetic energy, while increasing airflow and reducing overall weight.

Helmet sizing
Simply measure the circumference of your head at the widest point (just above your eyebrows). Take the measurement in cm â this is your helmet size. For more information on helmet sizes – please click here.
