Smith

Liberty Mips Helmet - Women's

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a safety technology designed to reduce the risk of brain injuries from angled impacts. It features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell to rotate slightly upon impact. This rotation helps absorb and redirect forces that can cause concussions, making the helmet safer during falls or collisions.

Koroyd is a unique material made up of co-polymer tubes that effectively absorbs impact energy. When a force is applied, these tubes crush and collapse, reducing the impact on the head more efficiently than traditional foam materials. This lightweight design provides excellent protection without adding extra weight to the helmet.

The VaporFit system is an adjustable fit mechanism that allows you to customize the fit of your helmet easily. It features a dial at the back of the helmet that you can turn to tighten or loosen the fit. A secure and comfortable fit is crucial for safety during activities like skiing or snowboarding, as it ensures the helmet stays in place during movement.

AirEvac Ventilation is a system designed to enhance airflow within the helmet. It includes multiple adjustable vents that allow fresh air in and help regulate temperature. This feature is particularly beneficial during intense physical activities, as it helps prevent overheating and reduces fogging on goggles or glasses, keeping you comfortable and focused.

Hybrid construction refers to a method of helmet design that combines various materials and technologies to optimize performance. For example, the Smith Liberty MIPS Helmet uses a mix of hard and soft materials to provide both durability and comfort. This approach results in a lightweight helmet that still offers strong protection against impacts, making it ideal for active sports.

Choosing a helmet with MIPS and Koroyd technology significantly enhances your safety and comfort. MIPS reduces the risk of brain injuries from angled impacts, while Koroyd provides superior impact absorption. Together, they create a helmet that not only protects your head effectively but also keeps you comfortable during your activities, making it a smart investment for your safety.
