SMITH Descend MIPS

The MIPS Brain Protection System is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide relative to your head during an angled impact. This movement helps reduce the rotational forces that can be transferred to your brain in a crash, providing an extra layer of protection beyond standard impact absorption.

Yes, the helmet features a Regulator climate control system. You can easily open or close the 16 vents using a slider on the top of the helmet, allowing you to fine-tune your airflow based on the current weather conditions or your activity level.

The Descend is designed specifically for seamless integration with Smith goggles. Its AirEvac ventilation system pulls warm air away from the goggles and out through the helmet vents, which significantly reduces the chance of fogging while ensuring a flush fit against your face.

Absolutely. It uses a 360-degree micro-adjustable dial fit system, which allows you to tighten or loosen the helmet around your entire head rather than just the back. This creates a more secure, customized fit that accommodates a wide range of head shapes.

The Snapfit SL2 ear pads are removable if you prefer to ride without them on warmer days. They are also audio-compatible, meaning you can easily insert most aftermarket drop-in audio chips to listen to music or take calls while on the slopes.

Zonal Koroyd is a honeycomb-like material integrated into specific impact zones of the helmet. It is designed to crush upon impact, absorbing more energy than traditional foam alone while still allowing for excellent airflow and a lightweight profile.
