Product description

Smith Method Mips ski helmet matte midnight navy (E00542)

The Smith Method MIPS ski helmet is a unique combination of modern design, innovative technologies, and user comfort, designed to provide maximum safety on the slopes.

The MIPS technology in the Smith Method MIPS helmet plays a key role in increasing the user's safety level. This innovative feature, involving a movable layer inside the helmet, minimizes the risk of brain injuries by absorbing and dispersing rotational forces upon impact. This is especially important during falls at various angles, which are common in skiing and snowboarding.

The AirEvac ventilation system maximizes air circulation between the goggles and the helmet, reducing goggle fogging and enabling effective temperature regulation inside the helmet. Thanks to 8 ventilation holes, the helmet provides excellent airflow.

The Smith Method MIPS helmet also incorporates the zonal Koroyd® technology, which delivers lightweight yet effective energy absorption during impact. This innovation enhances protection, ensuring greater safety in case of collisions.

The In-Mold construction of the Smith Method helmet uses multilayer polycarbonate materials that provide durability while maintaining low weight. This advanced shell manufacturing technique results in a durable helmet that is also lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The helmet features a removable liner made of soft and warm fleece material, providing additional comfort. Removable ear pads and chin padding, as well as a quick-release buckle, further enhance user convenience.

Advantages

Impact protection

Skiing is classified as a high-risk sport, which means that the greatest possible protection is required during skiing. The helmet offers impact protection, which increases the user[s safety on the slopes.

Passive ventilation

Permanently integrated into the helmet, the ventilation channels let fresh air in through the openings at the front and let excess heat and moisture out through the rear openings. Thanks to this solution, the goggles do not evaporate and the head is kept comfortable during activity.

Ergonomic design

The ergonomic shape ensures a high level of comfort when skiing. This helmet design allows undisturbed airflow, which also improves ventilation inside the shell.

EN 1077 certification

This is a European safety certificate which certifies that the helmet has passed crash and point tests. The first part of the test determines the maximum force that can act on the helmet during a collision, checking absorption through deformation, while the second tests the strength of the shell during point impacts, such as with a ski pole.

Buckle fastening

The chin strap uses a classic buckle fastening. It is easy to use, but fastening and unfastening it can be problematic with winter gloves. It will work well with helmets designed for slightly older children.

Soft ear muffs

Soft ear muffs are a different helmet design with ear muffs that are not overlapped by the helmet shell. They are extremely soft and protect the ears from the cold without interfering with sound reception. They do not, however, provide protection against injuries that may occur in the event of an accident.

EPS inner shell

Under the outer, impact-resistant shell, there is an inner layer made of polystyrene. It has a varying density and its main function is to absorb the force of impact during an accident. It provides a good level of safety.

ASTM F2040 certification

This is an American safety standard, more stringent than the European CE 1077 ECC standard. The test involves dropping the helmet on three types of impact anvils at different speeds. However, point tests and chin strap tests are omitted. A helmet with this certification ensures safety during a crash.

Technologies

MIPS®

Multidirectional Impact Protection System - A common impact protection system used in helmets. Its purpose is to protect against the rotational movement that occurs during a severe impact. MIPS absorbs the first shock, minimising the risk of brain damage.

AirEvac™

AirEvac™ technology, by Smith, offers excellent air circulation in the goggles, which are fully integrated into the helmet. Thanks to the adapted design of the helmet, warm air is not trapped and collected between the goggles and the helmet, but flows further through the helmet's ventilation system. Thanks to this solution, there is no problem with foggy lenses.

Koroyd®

A material used in Smith helmets that provides a high level of safety. It is characterised by a cylindrical structure that absorbs energy during impact and transforms it into kinetic energy, but does not give it back, as is the case with materials that act like a spring. In addition, thanks to their construction from small tubes, they are well permeable to air.
