Smith Optics Survey Jr. MIPS Snow Helmet for Youth

The Smith Survey Jr. Helmet matches the latest impact protection of MIPS and zonal Koroyd with Smith Optics Grow-With-Me dual-stage liner system adapts to growing kids. An integrated visor simplifies goggle wear and provides distortion-free clarity. The helmet is lined for comfort, the fit is dial-adjustable, and the visor is over the glasses (OTG) compatible. Protection: Lightweight in-mold construction fuses the exterior ABS shell and EPS foam for a one-piece design that's lightweight and durable. Zonal Koroyd coverage for lightweight, energy-absorbing and ventilated impact protection. MIPS Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head. Certification: ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2007 CLASS B. Adjustable dial fit for easy, on-the-go size adjustment. Regulator climate control also allows easy, one-handed vent adjustment. Plush, fuzzy lining adds warmth and comfort. Youth-specific, removable Snapfit SL2 ear pads add warmth. Helmet has 14 vents.

Finally, Protection as Progressive as You Are:
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. Developed as an energy absorber in the aerospace industry, cylindrical structures were found to be one of nature's strongest forms; a form that could offer the greatest impact absorption for a given length. Koroyd utilizes cylinders to create a structure that behaves differently than traditional protection materials. Traditional materials act like a spring which stores energy and then releases it, Koroyd is a true energy absorber which converts the kinetic energy by crumpling. This translates into better absorption of impact energy.

Engineered Absorption: Koroyd's welded tubes crumple instantly and consistently on impact, absorbing maximum force in a controlled manner, minimizing energy transferred to your head. Engineered Protection: Air flows consistently through the open-cells, whilst hot air from your head can easily escape, ensuring more efficient cooling in the most intense conditions. Full Breathability: Koroyd features the world's thinnest walled tubes, resulting in a structure which is 95% air. This reduces weight and enhances comfort without compromising on safety.

MIPS: Brain Protection System - Engineered to Add Protection to Helmets
The MIPS Brain Protection System (BPS) is found inside the helmet, generally between the comfort padding and the EPS (a high-quality foam used to reduce energy). For certain impacts, the MIPS BPS can reduce harmful forces transmitted to the brain. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. How it Works: Designed to add protection against rotational motion transferred to the brain. Rotational motion affects the brain and increase the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. When implemented in a helmet, the MIPS BPS can reduce rotational motion by redirecting energies and forces otherwise transferred to the brain. The core of the MIPS BPS is a low friction layer that allows the head to move 0.39" to 0.59" (10mm to 15mm) relative to the helmet in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain. The MIPS BPS makes your helmet safer and adds protection. Strain in the Brain: Rotational motion from an angled impact can cause strain in the brain that can lead to tearing in the brain tissue. Reality Based Testing: Statistics show that many brain injuries occur due to angled impacts to the head. However, in standard helmet tests the helmet is dropped vertically onto a flat surface, and this does not create an angled impact. These results are helpful for measuring precise vertical impacts, but inferior for measuring a more realistic scenario of an angled impact. The MIPS test rig is developed for testing angled impacts to simulate a fall during a crash.

Lightweight and Low Profile: Smith's hybrid shell construction combines separate lightweight and durable shells to create an entirely new helmet category. By fusing Smith Optics tough bombshell ABS construction with flyweight in-mold technology, their hybrid shell construction optimizes the favorable traits of each material in this revolutionary process. The Smith Survey Jr. Helmet has an adjustable chin strap equipped with a squeeze-style side-release buckle. Helmet comes with a storage and transport helmet bag, visor protector, is available in multiple colors, and goggles have a visual light transmission (VLT) 10%.
