SMITH PERSIST MIPS: The Smith Persist road helmet is ready for whatever your ride has in store, whether it's a fast-paced lunch ride or a weekend 60-miler.

ENGINEERED ABSORPTION: 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.

ENGINEERED PROTECTION: Thousands of co-polymer extruded tubes, thermally welded to create an unparalleled consistent and fully engineered core. Each Koroyd section is engineered to precise durometer, size, and thickness specifications to provide the greatest impact resistance and aesthetically consistent presentation.

FULL BREATHABILITY: Koroyd is an energy absorber that is fully breathable and doesn't compromise impact performance. Its open-cell construction allows cool air in and expels hot air from the rider's head, integrating with internal channels to create the full Aerocore construction and provide ventilated protection.

PROTECTION: The lightweight in-mold construction and MIPS Brain Protection System reduce rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head.

FIT / INTEGRATION: The VaporFit dial adjustment system offers 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.

FEATURES: 21 fixed vents for consistent airflow, performance comfort lining, lightweight, low-bulk single layer webbing.
