Smith Ski Helmets Are So Great Because of These 4 Tech Features
Smith Optics is best known for making amazing looking and technologically advanced eye-wear. For ages people have enjoyed their sun shades, prescription eye-wear and eyeglasses. But Smith Optics is also a pretty big name in snow helmets.
Smith Optics started making ski helmets because they were assured they could make them better or at a minimum cooler looking. With all of the tech they managed to put into their eye-wear, not many people would doubt that claim.
Smith snowboarding helmets or Smith ski helmets, as anticipated, are stuffed with tech. These helmets are specifically designed to guarantee the athlete remains comfortable and protected during practice or competition.
Eliminating Gaper Gap
Gaper gaps are a bane to board enthusiasts. A gaper gap is the space between the goggle and the helmet. A significant gaper gap can cause you to feel cold and sun burnt.
To address this, the designers of Smith ski helmets and glasses have discovered a way around that. Smith snowboarding helmets have been meticulously designed to fit flush against the goggle frame therefore getting shot of gaper gap. Now, you will not only feel better while skiing or snow-boarding, you will also look much cooler.
Good Ventilation Is A Must
Standard helmets have an inclination to trap warm, wet air in the goggle chamber which would end in glasses fogging up and obstructing vision. The key to unravelling that problem is by improving ventilation so the wet air is siphoned out of the eyeglasses to maintain excellent vision at every point. Smith ski helmets has a system called the AirEvac that addresses that issue superbly. This air-conditioning system makes sure maximum airflow to expedite evacuation of fog-causing air.
AirEvac two
But Smith engineers did not just stop there. They went ahead and took it up slightly by introducing AirEvac 2. This systems continues to draw goggle-fogging warm air away from goggles thru external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner of Smith ski helmets.
The best thing is that the internal airflow can be controlled through Smith snowboarding helmets ‘ Regulator Climate Control System. You can simply adjust it for max airflow if you want to reduce internal temperatures or totally close it to suit your preference. All this while, AirEvac two will be working to constantly draw out warm air. How cool it that? Joke intended.
Exhaust System
All that warm air has to go somewhere and Smith engineers have made certain that it exits the helmet at the furthest point from the glasses thru the AirEvac 2 EPS vent channels.
To summarise,
- Smith snowboarding helmets boast effective ventilation systems to prevent Goggles from fogging up.
- Smith ski helmets have been designed to eliminate gaper gaps
- Smith have placed loads of tech into their ski helmets
