Smith Optics is best known for making amazing looking and scientifically advanced eye-wear. For a long while folks have enjoyed their sunglasses, prescription eye-wear and eyeglasses. But Smith Optics is also a pretty big name in snow helmets.
Smith Optics started to make ski helmets because they were assured they could make them better or at least cooler looking. With all the tech they managed to put into their eye-wear, not that many people would doubt that claim.
Smith snowboard helmets or Smith ski helmets, as expected, are loaded with tech. These helmets are specifically designed to guarantee the athlete remains comfortable and protected during practice or competition.
Getting rid of Gaper Gap
Gaper gaps are a bane to board enthusiasts. A gaper gap is the space between the goggle and the helmet. A serious gaper gap can leave you feeling cold and sun burnt.
To remedy this, the designers of Smith ski helmets and glasses have discovered a way around that. Smith snowboard helmets have been meticulously designed to fit flush against the goggle frame so eliminating gaper gap. Now, you will not only feel better while skiing or snow-boarding, you may also look much cooler.
Good Ventilation Is A Must
Ordinary helmets have a propensity to trap warm, damp air in the goggle chamber which would result in glasses fogging up and impedeing vision. The key to unravelling this problem is by improving ventilation so that the damp air is siphoned out of the spectacles to maintain wonderful vision at all points. Smith ski helmets has a system called the AirEvac that addresses that difficulty superbly. This ventilation system makes sure maximum airflow to facilitate evacuation of fog-causing air.
AirEvac 2
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 glasses thru external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner of Smith ski helmets.
The best thing is that the internal airflow can be regulated thru Smith snowboard helmets ‘ Regulator Climate Control System. You can simply adjust it for maximum airflow if you’d like to reduce internal temperatures or utterly close it to suit your preference. All this while, AirEvac 2 will be working to repetitively draw out warm air. How cool it that? Joke intended.
Exhaust System
All that warm air has to go somewhere and Smith engineers have made sure that it exits the helmet at the furthest point from the glasses thru the AirEvac 2 EPS vent channels.
To summarize,
- Smith snowboard helmets boast effective ventilation systems to prevent Goggles from fogging up.
- Smith ski helmets AirEvac 2 allows internal airflow to be regulated
- AirEvac 2 dumps warm air at the furthest point from the goggles
