Smith: Descend MIPS helmet - Matte Fatigue Green

Product details

The Descend MIPS snow sports helmet from Smith. The Smith Descend Helmet packs the latest impact protection into a lightweight, low-profile design that lets you focus on riding more and fussing with your gear less. It combines Mips® and zonal Koroyd® for enhanced energy absorption in the event of a crash. From cold and stormy to warm and sunny, adjustable vents let you dial in the climate control to match the day. Audio-compatible ear pads help keep you connected, and our adjustable dial fit lets you fine-tune the fit and feel on the fly with one hand.

Features:

• Mips® Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head
• Lightweight in-mold construction fuses the exterior shell and EPS foam for a one-piece design that's lightweight and durable
• Zonal KOROYD® coverage for lightweight, energy-absorbing and ventilated impact protection
• Regulator climate control allows easy, one-handed vent adjustment
• 4 active vents (opening / closing control), 12 passive vents
• Snapfit SL2 ear pads add warmth and are audio-chip compatible
• Aleck® audio systems compatible
• Ionic+® antimicrobial lining offers sweat-activated odor control
• Adjustable dial fit for easy, on-the-go size adjustment
• Designed for ultimate integration with Smith goggles for maximum comfort and venting
• AirEvac ventilation system (also integrates with Smith goggles for fog-free lenses)
• Goggle Lock

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.

AirEvac™: Constant flow:
AirEvac 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 – this is your helmet size. For more information on helmet sizes - please click here.
