Smith Compass Helmet - MIPS 2019

Smith

Smooth, flowing lines and elegant finishing details complement the Compass's low profile ultra-light in-mold construction. Combining AirEvac2 ventilation and soft women's X-Static lining beneath a refined collection of designs, the Compass is the ideal helmet for women of discriminating tastes.



MIPS technology (Multi-directional impact protection system):

MIPS is used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique impact. Smith helmets are created to absorb direct impacts very efficiently and when combined with MIPS, Smith helmets absorb oblique forces better by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner.

MIPS in action



MIPS IN ACTION:

When you fall to the ground at an angle rotational forces are generated. A helmet integrating MIPS technology creates a sliding layer between the outer shell and the head. This allows the helmet's outer shell to slide relative to the head when hitting the ground, so the rotational force is decreased, reducing the potential to damage your brain.

Fit + Adjustment

Adjustable Smith x Boa fit system - The Smith x BOA® fit system is a custom developed, Smith exclusive piece. Building on the proven fit of our ergonomic head form, it offers an intuitive dial system for on-the-fly, single-handed micro-adjustment. This three-quarter haloed design offers key features of self-centering and vertical adjustability, allowing the user to achieve a perfectly customized fit.

Venting

AirEvac2 ventilation - At Smith, we design helmets and goggles to work together as a fully integrated system. For the helmet line, the most important factor in integration is the AirEvac ventilation system. This is the bridge that allows goggles and helmets to function as one system, venting warm moist air away from the goggles, through the helmet climate control system and ultimately away from the head.
