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 completely controlled manner, decelerating the energy from the impact 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. Koroyd's open cell construction allows cool air in while expelling hot air from the rider's head. The completely open cell construction integrates with internal channels to create the full Aerocore construction, providing ventilated protection.

PROTECTION: Lightweight in-mold construction, MIPS Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head.

FIT / INTEGRATION: 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. AirEvac ventilation system integrates with Smith goggles and eyewear for fog-free lenses.
