Smith Optics Vantage Women's Snow Helmet (Small, Matte Black)

Smith started making helmets because they could make them better. Experience the result of complete goggle-helmet integration that never stops working for yourself. Using Aerocore construction that features Koroyd, The Vantage Snow Helmet simultaneously maximizes full coverage protection and increased airflow. For the most custom fit, the Vantage offers the specific X-Static lining, as well as the BOA FS360 fit system, with a 360-degree halo design. Combine all this with the Smith pioneered AirEvac technology for goggle integration, and the Vangate delivers the perfect blend of technology and style.

Hybrid Shell Construction

Smith's Hybrid Shell construction combines separate lightweight and durable shells to create an entirely new helmet category. By fusing tough bombshell ABS construction with flyweight In-Mold technology, the Hybrid Shell construction optimizes the favorable traits of each material in this revolutionary process. The result is a modern design that provides lightweight, low profiles, perfectly fitting helmet. Hybrid Shell construction also creates a clean, smooth top surface by enabling the low profiles Regulator to function with reduced mass and volume.

Ultimate Integration

At Smith, the helmets and goggles are designed to work together as a fully integrated system. For the helmet line, the most important factor in integration is the AirEvac ventilation system. This is the bridge that allows goggles and helmets to function as one system, venting warm moist air away from the goggles, through the helmet climate control system and ultimately away from the head.

Aerocore Construction

Smith's objective and design philosophy behind Aerocore construction is to increase airflow, improve temperature regulation resulting in fog-free vision and improve impact resistance. The objective was achieved through the combination of materials such as EPS and Koroyd, a revolutionary new material that absorbs more energy upon impact when compared to international standards, while increasing airflow. Aerocore construction through the use of Koroyd and EPS allows for more vents to be placed throughout the helmet without sacrificing protection and comfort.

Climate Control

Temperature control is the most important feature when considering how to enjoy the entire day on the hill. The Dual Regulator ventilation system independently controls the front and rear sections of the Vantage venting, allowing you to modulate your body temperature even in extremely cold conditions. By exhausting heat through the rear vents while maintaining a sealed front end, your body can effectively cool down if needed and avoid the dreaded ice cream headache.

BOA FS360 Fit System

Taking customized fit to the next level, Smith introduces the Boa FS360 Fit System. With a full 360 degree halo design, this system advances the category by offering both forward and lateral fit adjustments. Feel the fit system snug to the head in a full halo, allowing for a floating effect that eliminates helmet hot spots. Offering Boa's standard intuitive dial system for on-the-fly micro-adjustability, along with vertical adjustment options, the Boa FS360 Fit System is a best-in-class fit system, offered in Smith's market-leading Vantage helmet.
