Smith Trace Mips helmet

The pinnacle helmet in Smith’s performance road collection is the all new Trace. The Trace features Koroyd, which fully surrounds the helmet providing exceptional protection and works with the internal air channels and open intake and exhaust ports to produce maximum ventilation. Storage and ventilation of eyewear is crucial on those long rides, the Trace’s AirEvac system relieves hot air that builds up on your eyewear to prevent fogging. Eyewear storage is made easy by channels on the side of the helmet that hold your eyewear in place for those grueling climbs.

Technologies

Koroyd engineered core
A tubular core structure – Koroyd is not just an evolution of product; it is by definition a revolution in lightweight core construction, which is proven to afford a significant and even astonishing performance advantage. Superior impact protection: Koroyd helmets are complying with lower limits to achieve less than 5% risk of severe head injuries.
Advanced ventilation: Koroyd’s tubular arrangement, organises chaotic air, normalises the pressure and delivers it constantly and linearly through the MT500 helmet to the rider’s head. Thermodynamic testing has shown that Koroyd cools your head quicker and to a lower temperature than having no material at all.

MIPS
(Multi-additional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can be result from certain impacts. MIPS uses a slip-plane that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain's own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to, or from, the head.
