Smith Nexus MIPS Helmet Chalk Grey Black

The Smith Nexus MIPS helmet offers high level, long lasting protection. In addition to a hybrid shell that balances a lightweight, low-profile design with a rigid, durable exterior, the Nexus enhances impact coverage with the Koroyd system, a fully ventilated material that absorbs more energy in the event of a crash than traditional foam construction alone. The MIPS system increases safety in angled impacts to complete a high performance helmet in terms of protection. The level of comfort is also high thanks to the BOA 360 micrometric adjustment system, which easily adapts to the entire head. A sweat-wicking, odour-fighting lining will keep you warm, while 24 adjustable vents at the front and back allow you to regulate airflow as needed.

• Hybrid shell construction combines a durable exterior with a lightweight moulded shell for durability where it's needed most, while keeping the helmet lightweight
• Full Koroyd cover for lightweight, energy-absorbing, ventilated impact protection
• The MIPS brain protection system reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head
• The exoskeleton improves impact protection in side impact zones
• BOA 360 Fit adjustment system offers the most adjustable fit with the turn of a dial for on-the-fly micro-adjustment
• Ionic+ anti-microbial lining offers sweat activated control
• Fidlock strap buckle is easy to operate with one hand
• Removable ear cushions for added comfort
• AirEvac ventilation system integrates with Smith eyewear for fog-free lenses
• Venitlation holes: 24
• Certifications: ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2007 CLASS B
• Weight: 550g (size M)

Technology:

• MIPS system

MIPS leads in the market for slip plane technology in the helmet’s interior which is designed to reduce any rotational impact from certain knocks. When the head rotates rapidly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause high levels of stress in the brain tissue. The tissue strain caused by these movements can result in various types of brain injuries. We believe that helmets equipped with MIPS technology can add the highest level of protection against certain types of impacts. MIPS uses a slip plane technology that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the same protection system that the brain uses. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the aim of potentially slowing or reducing the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science shows that if we can reduce the stress associated with rotational acceleration, we can reduce the risk and severity of brain damage.

• Koroyd

Smith's patented Koroyd system provides superior shock absorption, design flexibility and ventilation over traditional materials used in helmet construction. By using crumple zone cylinders that flatten evenly on impact, Koroyd manages energy more efficiently with less volume.

• BOA

The BOA closure secures and holds, it can be operated quickly and is released easily.

• AirEvac Ventilation
  

Smith AirEvac's ventilation systems generate a maximum airflow that draws warm, moist air out of the glasses. Warm air is allowed to escape from the top of the glasses and begin its journey through the AirEvac system of the helmet.
