A Better View At The Features Which Make Smith Ski Helmets So Awesome

Smith Optics is well known for making wonderful looking and scientifically advanced eye-wear. For a long while folks have enjoyed their sun shades, prescription eye-wear and shades. But Smith Optics is also an important name in snow helmets.

Smith Optics started to make ski helmets because they were confident they could make them better or at least cooler looking. With all of the tech they were able to put into their eye-wear, not many people would doubt that claim.

Smith snowboard helmets or Smith ski helmets, as predicted, are loaded with tech. These helmets are specially designed to ensure the athlete remains cushty and protected during practice or competition.

Getting rid of Gaper Gap
Gaper gaps are a bane to ski enthusiasts. A gaper gap is the space between the goggle and the helmet. A serious gaper gap can cause you to feel cold and sun burnt.

To remedy this, the designers of Smith ski helmets and shades have discovered a way around that. Smith snowboard helmets have been meticulously built to fit flush against the goggle frame so eliminating gaper gap. Now, you will not only feel better while skiing or snowboarding, you’ll also look much cooler.

Good Ventilation Is A Definite Must
Ordinary helmets have a tendency to trap warm, moist air in the goggle chamber which would end in shades fogging up and impedeing vision. The key to unravelling this problem is by improving ventilation so that the moist air is siphoned out of the eyeglasses to maintain wonderful vision at every point. Smith ski helmets has a system called the AirEvac that addresses that issue brilliantly. This ventilation system guarantees 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 a notch by introducing AirEvac 2. This systems continues to draw goggle-fogging warm air away from shades thru external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner of Smith ski helmets.

The nicest thing is that the internal airflow can be controlled via Smith snowboard helmets ‘ Regulator Climate Control System. You can easily adjust it for optimum airflow if you would like to reduce internal temperatures or completely close it to fit your preference. All this while, AirEvac two will be working to repetitively draw out warm air. How cool it that? Pun intended.

Exhaust System
All that warm air has to go somewhere and Smith engineers have made certain that it exits the helmet at the farthest point from the shades thru the AirEvac 2 EPS vent channels.

To summarise,

  • AirEvac 2 dumps warm air at the furthest point from the goggles
  • Smith snowboard helmets boast effective ventilation systems to prevent Goggles from fogging up.
  • Smith ski helmets AirEvac 2 allows internal airflow to be regulated
