In addition to protecting the head, SMITH's helmet is equipped with technology designed to shut out the cloudiness of goggles and keep the inside of the helmet at a comfortable temperature.A new model with an aero core structure located at the top of it will appear.
There are three major characteristics of the aerocore structure.
・ Impact absorption capacity that is 30% or more higher than usual
→ By fusing the EPS core with a honeycomb structure material called Koroyd (colloid), it has become possible to absorb more than 30% of the impact than a normal EPS liner.
・ More efficient ventilation function
→ Since Koroyd is strong, more vent holes (ventilation opened in the helmet) can be provided.Through this vent hole, the outside air is sent to the inside of the helmet, and the air heated by the head is sent to the outside to control the temperature inside the helmet.In addition, it is superior to the goggles alone in the function of eliminating fogging on the goggles lens.
・ Miniaturization & weight reduction
→ Since Koroyd is made of polymer tube, it is lighter than when the same area is covered with another material, and the volume of the entire helmet can be reduced.
The Koroyd, created by advanced engineering technology, was only installed in relatively high-priced models, but the new Mission is also attractive at the same price as Maze.If you haven't been able to afford it so far, please give it a try.Five colors of Mission in unisex size and two colors of Mirage in women's size will be released.
