Smith Debuts New Survey Snow Helmet With Integrated Visor
Blending its industry-leading helmet and eyewear technologies into a singular snow offering, Smith launches the new Survey helmet with integrated ChromaPop™ visor for all-mountain use across a variety of disciplines.
Skiers and snowboarders will both benefit from Survey’s in-mold construction that fuses the exterior shell and EPS foam into a one-piece design and utilizes Koroyd® - a series of crumple-zone cylinders that crush uniformly on impact – in zonal coverage for lightweight, durable, energy-absorbing and ventilated impact protection. The addition of the MIPS® Brain Protection System also reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head in case of a crash.
The integrated visor simplifies goggle wear and offers a wide field of view with contrast, color, and terrain-enhancing definition and clarity through proprietary ChromaPop™ lens technology across a greater range of conditions. The visor is also over-the-glass (OTG) compatible to accommodate corrective frames underneath. Replacement visor lenses, including Clear for night riding, are sold separately.
Additional features of the Survey helmet include an adjustable dial fit system for easy, on-the-go size tuning, AirEvac™ ventilation and 14 vents with regulator climate control for adequate ventilation and fog-free lenses, and removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads for warmth that are also Aleck™ audio system compatible (sold separately).
For young riders, the Survey Jr. helmet mimics the impact protection of its adult counterpart with MIPS® and zonal Koroyd®, while offering distortion-free vision in the integrated visor. The Survey Jr. also features Smith’s Grow With Me™ technology, offering a singular shell size with dual-stage liner system to cover the largest size range in kid’s helmets today.
The new Survey helmet (MSRP $250 with MIPS / $270 with MIPS and Photochromic ChromaPopvisor, Weight 25 oz)and Survey Jr helmet (MSRP $180, Weight 25 oz) will beavailable Fall 2021 at select specialty retailers worldwide and online at smithoptics.com.
