Smith's View
Prospect Jr. - featuring the world’s first helmet liner system that grows as you do. Utilizing Smith’s Grow With Me dual-stage liner system, the Prospect Jr.’s stage one and stage two liners cover the largest head size range in kid’s helmets today.
Features
Aerocore Technology
The design philosophy behind Aerocore circulation is to increase airflow and improve temperature regulation, resulting in fog-free vision and improved impact resistance. These goals were achieved through the use of Koroyd, a material that absorbs more energy upon impact when compared to international standards, while enhancing airflow. Aerocore construction allows for more vents to be placed throughout the helmet with no compromise on protection or comfort.
Engineered Absorption
Koroyd's precise and unique thermal welding process leads to a structure with both extremely efficient energy absorption properties. Upon impact, the cores crush in a controlled manner, decelerating the energy from the impact and reducing the final trauma levels.
Engineered Protection
Thousands of co-polymer extruded tubes thermally welded to create a consistent and fully engineered core. Each Koroyd section is engineered to precise durometer, size, and thickness specifications to provide the greatest impact resistance and consistent presentation.
Full Breathability
Koroyd is fully breathable with no compromise on impact performance. The open cell structure allows cool air in while exhausting hot air. This construction integrates with internal channels to create the full Aerocore construction to provide ventilated protection.
Construction Technology
In-Mold Shell
An injection-moulded polycarbonate shell is wrapped around an EPS liner. A tough yet super-light design that keeps the fit of the helmet comfortable for prolonged wear.
EPS Liner
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) coats the inside of the helmet shell to absorb energy by compressing in the event of impact, reducing the risk of head injury.
MIPS
The multi-directional impact protection system. A low-friction membrane absorbs rotational energy from oblique impact, reducing violent forces on the brain and associated injury.
Fit & Comfort Technology
Grow With Me Liner
Dual stage liner system adapts with your growing kids to offer a solution that is suitable for a range of head sizes. Ideal for ages 2-6 (Stage 1 Liner) & 6-12 (Stage 2 Liner).
Regulator Adjustable Vents
Adjustable, easy to use and extremely effective climate control, low-profile Regulator ventilation allows you to modify the amount of airflow even with a gloved hand.
DFS2 Fit System
The Dial Fit System utilises intuitive righty-tighty and lefty-loosey adjustment for quick, easy, on-the-fly tweaking and a comfortable fit every time.
Audio Compatible Ear Pads

MIPS Technology
MIPS: Multi-Directional Impact Protection System
The MIPS Brain Protection System is a helmet integrated, low friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head.
Injury statistics show that when you fall and hit your head, it’s most common to fall at an angle, compared to a linear fall. Falling at an angle creates rotational motion and science has shown that our brains are very sensitive to rotational forces. MIPS allows the head to move inside the helmet which can reduce the harmful rotational motion otherwise transferred to the brain.
