Description
2024 Smith Nexus MIPS Helmet
When you spend more days on the mountain than off, the Smith Nexus is your helmet for bomber protection that holds up season after season. In addition to a hybrid shell that balances a lightweight, low-profile design with a durable hardshell exterior, the Nexus steps up impact coverage with Koroyd® throughout the helmet, a fully-vented material that absorbs more energy in a crash than traditional foam construction alone. Add MIPS® for increased safety during angled impacts, and you have our most advanced helmet design.
Construction
- Hybrid Shell Construction – Smith's Hybrid Shell construction combines two separate lightweight and durable shells to create a new helmet category. Tough ABS hardshell construction is fused with flyweight In-Mold technology, optimizing the best traits of each.
- Complete Koroyd® Coverage – For lightweight, energy-absorbing and ventilated impact protection. Koroyd® provides superior impact absorption, design flexibility, and ventilation when compared to materials traditionally used in helmet construction. By utilizing crumple-zone cylinders that crush uniformly on impact, Koroyd® manages energy more efficiently with less volume than any other protection material on the market. Unlike traditional protection materials, Koroyd® cylinders absorb and convert more kinetic energy, while increasing airflow and reducing overall weight. Not all helmets are created equal.
- Exoskeleton – Enhances impact protection in side impact zones.
Ventilation
- 24 Vents
- AirEvac™ Ventilation – AirEvac drives the warm air away from the goggle through external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner.
Fit
- BOA® FS360 Fit System – The BOA® FS360 system uses a full halo design that offers both forward and lateral adjustment, and creates a "floating" effect that eliminates hot spots.
- Fidlock® Strap Buckle – Offers easy one-hand operation.
Additional Features
- Removable Audio Compatible Ear Pads
- Aleck™ Audio System Compatible
- Ionic+™ Antimicrobial Lining – Offers sweat-activated odor control.
- MIPS® System Equipped – In a helmet with the MIPS Brain Protection System, the shell and liner are separated by a low friction layer that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head in and angled impact.
- Smith Helmet Bag Included
