Regulator

Adjustable, easy to use and extremely effective climate control, Smith's low profile Regulator ventilation system allows you to modify the amount of airflow and heat exhaust even with a gloved hand.

Airevac 2

The ultimate in goggle-helmet integration, AirEvac 2 connects shell vents and internal EPS channels to increas airflow and evacuate warm, moist air to prevent goggle fogging. Cool, dry air is consistently pulled into the goggles as the warm, moist air is exhausted over the wearer's head and out the rear of the helmet.

Hybrid Shell Construction

Smith’s Hybrid Shell construction combines separate lightweight and durable shells to create an entirely new helmet category. By fusing our tough Bombshell ABS construction with flyweight In-Mold™ technology, their Hybrid Shell construction optimises the favorable traits of each material in the revolutionary process. The result is a modern design that provides a lightweight, low-profile, perfect fitting helmet. Hybrid Shell construction also creates a clean, smooth top surface by enabling the low profile Regulator to function with reduced mass and volume. Advancing their construction process for 2011, Smith have created new Super Light or “SL” engineered parts. Each SL item has been minimised to the extreme while maintaining durability and part integrity in order to reduce weight and increase comfort.
