Smith TRACE MIPS - Road Helmet - matte berry/vapor

TECHNOLOGY:

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System): This system is based on a hard plastic shell placed inside the helmet. Fixed to the helmet with multi-directional attachments, the MIPS system can move in all directions inside the helmet. The aim is to let the helmet move freely on the head in the event of an oblique impact. By turning around the head, the helmet absorbs and dissipates the force of the impact, thus reducing the effect on the brain.

AEROCORE BY KOROYD: Smith's objective and design philosophy behind AeroCore™ construction is to increase airflow, improve temperature regulation resulting in fog-free vision and improve impact resistance. The objective was achieved through the combination of materials such as EPS and Koroyd®, a revolutionary new material that absorbs more energy upon impact when compared to international standards, while increasing airflow. AeroCore™ construction through the use of Koroyd® and EPS allows for more vents to be placed throughout the helmet without sacrificing protection and comfort..

VaporFit™: Designed to guarantee maximum comfort, the VaporFit™ system works via a rotary dial adjustment system integrated with a tuned elastic fit using engineered shapes. Each VaporFit™ system has a full 5cm of rotary adjustability. Additionally, the system can be moved up and down or forwards and backwards at the attachment points. The final result is increased comfort with a personalised, secure fit.

AirEvac™: The AirEvac™ is the bridge that allows goggles and helmets to function as one system. It helps evacuate warm moist air away from the goggles, through the helmet climate control system and ultimately away from the head.

X-Static® XT2™: Quick-drying antimicrobial material to prevent the development odour-causing bacteria. The ergonomic design provides optimal comfort.

COMPOSITION:

In-Mold: Construction with unique moulding between the outer shell and the inner lining, significantly reducing the weight of the helmet and providing more efficient ventilation. This unique construction also ensures a better diffusion of the impact over a larger part of the helmet.

The outer shell made from polycarbonate (known for its excellent impact resistance) is directly moulded with the expanded polystyrene (EPS) inner foam.
