The team at Smith, having spent decades reducing lens fogging, knows quite a bit about ventilation. One look at the Forefront Helmet, with its breathable Koroyd tube structure, shows how willing they are to depart from convention to create a product that’s truly great. The Koroyd tubes are tiny, extruded, co-polymer tubes that absorb about 30% more impact than traditional EPS foam, and, due to their hollow nature, allow air to flow freely in a way that foam simply can’t. On top of that, the microstructures allow for less material to be used in the construction of the helmet, which adds up to a highly-protective helmet that weighs in at just about 285grams. It’s not just a cool-looking helmet that protects your head, though. The AirEvac system, borrowed from its snow helmets, moves hot air away from your glasses or goggles to keep them fog-free. The visor has two positions to keep the sun out of your eyes, and there’s also a threaded brass insert on the top of the helmet designed to accept aftermarket mounting kits for GoPro cameras and Light and Motion lights. The helmet’s fit is secured via Smith’s VaporFit retention system, which anyone familiar with Smith’s snow line will be familiar with.

Freezing air and falling snow won’t keep you stuck inside. Whether commuting year round or riding powdery backwoods singletrack, the Timberwolf™ is the helmet for your coldest rides.

This light, low-profile helmet is loaded with features, including Stack Vent™ technology to help reduce goggle fogging, an In Form fit system (for easy adjustment with gloved hands), plus on-the- fly adjustable Thermostat Control™ ventilation.

Our popular All Mountain/Trail helmet is back with some great new colors and graphics for 2012.

The new czar of All Mountain. The XAR offers all the features you’ve come to expect from Giro’s top-level trail-riding helmets – P.O.V. adjustable visor; full coverage in-mold composition with EPS foam and polycarbonate shell; Roll Cage enforcement and the new Roc Loc 5 fir system – the XAR truly heralds a new era of performance, comfort and style. At the heart of this helmet you’ll find 17 Wind Tunnel vents as well as optimized internal channeling, and the visor is vented to increase airflow. Breathability on the XAR is incredible; there’s never been a lid this breathable on dirt. Even the padding is extraordinary thanks in part to the X-Static anti-microbial fabric. Today’s All Mountain riders crush the climbs as well as they shred the descents. Their bikes beautifully merge minimal weight, climbing prowess and downhill capability. The riders are buying the best and are ushering in the new standard for all-mountain performance. Just as riding styles and bikes have evolved, so must the helmet. the new XAR, inspired by the Xen, but designed to meet the performance needs of today’s progressive all-mountain rider.

The Foray drafts off the bold design language of the premium Synthe helmet, and offers many of the key features including durable in-mold construction and the Roc Loc 5 fit system with two-way fit adjustment. The slim design is very light, offers great ventilation and is available in three Super Fit sizes so that you can get a helmet that looks, fits and feels like it was made for you.

Our Niter Size Spotlight LED is the perfect mini-beacon whenever you need a little help in the dark.

Choose from two modes: press once for steady glow, twice for continuous flash. Water-resistant, long-life, replaceable batteries included.
