Snowboard Helmet Smith Level Mips matte slate

Smith Level MIPS snowboard helmet

Smith and snowboarding just go together. In addition, great certified helmets with the latest technologies look great and offer the best protection in the alpine or chasing untracked lines in the trees. Koroyd® and MIPS® technologies take care of shock absorption, so you can focus on high speeds, enjoy turning or jumps.

The hybrid shell design gives the helmet durability without significant weight, while the perfect fit and cleverly designed ventilation will give you all-day comfort without slowing down.

MIPS

The helmet equipped with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology consists of three main parts. EPS polystyrene shell, MIPS sliding insert and elastomers that connect the first two parts.

The source of inspiration for the MIPS patent is the human brain.

The brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, thanks to which the brain moves in the skull and is protected from shocks. By mimicking the natural protection of the brain, the unique MIPS technology also works, which reliably protects your brain from shocks and reduces the shocks that are transmitted to it.

A thin friction layer of MIPS is placed between the inner padded part and the upper EPS shell of the helmet using specially developed flexible grips. Its arrangement does not disturb the overall appearance or shape of the helmet, does not reduce comfort, nor does it disrupt the technical properties. At the moment of impact, the MIPS layer moves together with the head, independent of the direction of impact, and limits the rotation of the brain, which can be very dangerous.
