Product description

The junior ski helmet Smith Glide J MIPS has a lightweight in-molded shell that forms one unit with an EPP foam liner. It is also able to withstand repeated impacts without permanently deforming or reducing its protective function. There is also MIPS technology, which effectively eliminates the rotational forces that arise from higher-speed falls and endanger the brain. The practical size adjustment system helps to adjust the helmet directly to each skier's head. Pleasant plush lining reliably warms even on very cold days. The helmet is compatible with Smith goggles and features the AirEvac ventilation system, which prevents goggles from fogging.

MIPS technology:

The helmet equipped with MIPS® (Multi - Directional Impact Protection System) technology consists of three main parts: the EPS polystyrene shell, the MIPS® slip liner and the elastomers that connect the first two parts. In the event of an impact at an angle, as commonly occurs in higher speed crashes, the elastomers will stretch, allowing the helmet shell to move slightly against the MIPS® glide liner, absorbing rotational forces. This is a movement of a few millimetres. But even these few millimetres, during those critical two milliseconds, can significantly reduce the rotational forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain, where they have a devastating effect.
