Product description

Ski helmet Smith Descend matte black (E00568)

The Smith Descend matte black ski helmet integrates In-Mold, Koroyd®, and Hi-EPS technologies, creating an advanced protective barrier for all-mountain skiers. Its ergonomic shape and internal polystyrene (EPS) shell ensure optimal fit and effective impact force absorption, even during intense descents.

Integrated protective technologies

The Smith Descend model uses In-Mold technology, which allows for the fusion of the outer shell with a cushioning layer made of polystyrene (EPS), providing increased durability while maintaining low weight. The Koroyd® layer is responsible for effective energy dispersion in the event of an impact, while the Hi-EPS structure ensures effective shock absorption. All of this meets the rigorous safety standard EN 1077: 2007 CLASS B.

Comfort and ventilation while riding

The active ventilation applied in this helmet allows for efficient airflow regulation even in changing weather conditions. The soft, detachable Soft ear pads provide thermal protection and comfort during all-day use. The buckle and clip closure allows for quick and precise adjustment of the helmet to the user's individual needs.

Thoughtful user-friendly design

The ergonomic profile of the Smith Descend supports stability and wearing comfort during dynamic descents. The internal shell made of polystyrene (EPS) effectively protects the head from mechanical injuries. The In-Mold construction along with detachable elements facilitates fitting and increases the helmet's functionality on the slopes.

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.

Active ventilation

The active ventilation system allows the airflow to be individually controlled to suit current needs. Thanks to this solution, excess warm air and moisture will be vented to the outside, without being exposed to excessive cooling.

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.

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.

In-mould construction

This construction mainly combines different types of in mould foam of different hardnesses. These layers are closely linked to the outer layer of material, which is much harder. This construction makes the helmet extremely lightweight.

Technologies

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.

Hi-EPS

Hi-EPS is an innovative technology used in Alpina helmets, whose microscopic air chambers effectively absorb the forces generated during impact. Thanks to the use of Hi-EPS, the helmets offer optimum protection while remaining slim and thin-walled for increased comfort.

In-Mould

In-mold is a manufacturing method in which the outer shell of the helmet is permanently bonded to a layer of inner protective foam during moulding. This makes the helmet lighter, more durable and better absorbs impacts. The process also provides an aesthetically pleasing finish and increased structural durability.
