Smith

Survey Mips Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology designed to reduce rotational forces during an impact. It features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to move slightly upon impact, helping to absorb and redirect energy away from the brain. This technology significantly enhances the helmet's protective capabilities, especially in angled impacts, making it a crucial feature for anyone serious about safety while skiing or snowboarding.

Koroyd is a unique material made up of co-polymer tubes that absorb energy during impacts, providing superior protection. Its lightweight design also allows for better ventilation, keeping you cool and comfortable during high-performance activities. Helmets featuring Koroyd are ideal for sports like skiing and snowboarding, where both safety and comfort are essential.

ChromaPop is a lens technology developed by Smith that enhances color and contrast, improving visibility and clarity in various light conditions. This means you can see details more clearly while skiing or snowboarding, which can enhance your overall experience and safety on the slopes. The integrated ChromaPop visor in the helmet provides a wide field of view, allowing you to navigate your environment more effectively.

Dial-fit adjustment is a convenient mechanism that allows you to easily customize the fit of your helmet using a simple dial. A snug fit is crucial for both comfort and safety, as it ensures the helmet stays securely in place during activities. This feature allows you to quickly adjust the helmet for a perfect fit, enhancing your overall experience while skiing or snowboarding.

These certifications indicate that the helmet meets rigorous safety standards for protection in snow sports. ASTM F 2040 is a standard set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, while CE EN 1077:2007 CLASS B is a European standard. Helmets that carry these certifications have been tested for their ability to protect against impacts, ensuring that you are choosing a safe option for skiing and snowboarding activities.

Choosing a helmet with both MIPS and Koroyd technology provides you with enhanced safety and comfort. MIPS helps reduce rotational forces during impacts, while Koroyd absorbs energy and offers better ventilation. Together, these features ensure that you are well-protected and comfortable, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the slopes without compromising your safety.
