This medium, matte white Gage Snow Helmet from Smith Optics is suitable for skiing or snowboarding and can be easily modified for warm-weather activities such as biking, skating, or skateboarding. Its injection-molded ABS shell provides enhanced high-impact durability and meets ASTM F 2040, CE EN 1077:2077 Class B, CPSC, as well as CE EN 1078 certifications. The elastic, Lifestyle Fit System provides a dynamic fit that moves along with the wearer and flexes around the head, serving to maximize mobility.
Working in conjunction with the durable, nylon snap-buckle chin strap is a pair of ear pads that can be removed for warm-weather activities where safety and comfort can be served by unobstructed hearing and insulation reduction. The sides of these ear pads that face the wearer are perforated, making them compatible with a range of helmet audio chips, and while not listening to music, allow for better hearing than with closed ear pads. The rear goggle lock which can be used to secure eye protection worn with this snow helmet is also user-removable.
For easy climate control, twelve fixed vents maximize airflow and heat dissipation while minimizing cold air drafts. These vents integrate with Smith Optics goggles to provide the benefit of the Smith Optics AirEvac 2 ventilation system which eliminates fogging by driving warm air away from the goggles through external vents and internal channels within the helmet.
