SMITH Optics Persist MIPS Cycling Helmet - Black/Cement, Medium

Originating from Sun Valley, Idaho, Smith was founded in 1965 with the invention of the first snow goggle featuring a sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam. With 50 years of innovation and design experience, Smith is widely known today as an industry leader that pioneers advanced eyewear and helmets incorporating dynamic technologies, optimized performance, and clean styling to fuel fun beyond walls.

Smith seeks to power thrilling experiences in snow, surf, bike, fish, and peak performance outdoor adventures with a comprehensive collection that exudes modern style and vibrant personality. To Smith, the experience is everything.

The Smith Persist road helmet is designed for fast-paced lunch rides or weekend 60-milers, built to feel tailored to your head. Fine-tune the fit on the fly with an easy-to-use dial adjuster. When you're sweating it out on the climb, 21 fixed vents and the AirEvac ventilation system keep the air flowing, your head cool, and your glasses from fogging.

Energy-absorbing zonal Koroyd complements the MIPS Protection System to reduce impact forces in the event of a crash, boosting your confidence for every descent. The combination of Koroyd's precise and unique thermal welding process leads to a structure with extremely efficient and consistent energy absorption properties. Upon impact, the cores crush in a controlled manner, decelerating the energy and reducing the final trauma levels.

Thousands of co-polymer extruded tubes, thermally welded to create an unparalleled consistent and fully engineered core, provide the greatest impact resistance and aesthetically consistent presentation. Koroyd's open-cell construction allows cool air in while expelling hot air from the rider's head, integrating with internal channels to create the full Aerocore construction for ventilated protection.

The lightweight in-mold construction and MIPS Brain Protection System reduce rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head. The VaporFit dial adjustment system offers a 270-degree fit adjustment with the turn of a dial, designed for ultimate integration with Smith performance eyewear for maximum comfort, venting, and storage convenience.

The AirEvac ventilation system integrates with Smith goggles and eyewear for fog-free lenses. With 21 fixed vents for consistent airflow, a performance comfort lining, and lightweight, low-bulk single-layer webbing, the Smith Persist helmet is built for any trail, delivering timeless style and elite function for next-level perception.
