Smith – clear vision and protection in any weather

In 1965, Dr. Bob Smith developed the first sealed thermal lens with a breathable foam goggle. His goal was simple: a goggle whose lenses don't fog up, enabling clear vision and greater enjoyment and safety even in challenging weather conditions. Today, Smith Optics stands for far more than just revolutionary goggles. The brand offers cutting-edge protection systems where helmets and goggles work seamlessly together. With dynamic technologies, optimised performance and a defined style, Smith is one of the industry leaders when it comes to uncompromising performance and safety on the mountain and on the trail.

Helmets and goggles for snowboarding, skiing and biking

Snowboard and ski helmets

The snowboard helmets and freeski helmets from Smith are equipped with "Damage Control". The crumple zone cylinders break evenly on impact and absorb more kinetic energy than conventional protective materials. At the same time, Smith's Aerocore technology brings a completely new approach to ventilation and protection during hard sessions in the snow.

Snowboard and ski goggles

From the first interchangeable lens to today's standard: Smith goggles guarantee a perfect view. Smith's patented ChromaPop lens technology is scientifically advanced, significantly enhances the clarity of your vision and preserves the natural colours of your surroundings.

Bike helmets

The expertise gained in winter sports flows directly into the development of the bike helmets. Whether on demanding enduro trails or in the bike park: the helmets offer maximum protection, extremely low weight and outstanding airflow for tough climbs and hot days.

Special collections and technologies

One thing is clear: the better the visibility, the better your runs. Smith designs helmets and goggles to work together as a fully integrated system. The key factor here is Air Evac ventilation. Warm, moist air is channelled directly away from the goggle – through the helmet's ventilation system – and away from your head. The result: no fogging and a perfect view even in poor visibility conditions.

FAQs – the most common questions about Smith helmets and goggles

What makes Smith helmets stand out in terms of protection?

The helmets are equipped with "Damage Control" and "Aerocore technology". Special crumple zone cylinders are used that break evenly on impact and absorb significantly more kinetic energy than many conventional protective materials.

Are Smith helmets and goggles compatible with each other?

Yes, Smith helmets and goggles are developed as a fully integrated system ("Seamless Integration"). The Air Evac ventilation system ensures that helmet and goggle work together so that warm air is channelled directly from the goggle through the helmet – preventing the lenses from fogging up.

What should I look for when buying a Smith goggle?

Look for an interchangeable lens system so you can adapt to changing light conditions, as well as an integrated ventilation system. Also worth highlighting is ChromaPop technology, which enhances optical clarity and brings out the natural colours of your surroundings.

Are there specific Smith helmets for summer and winter sports?

Yes. While the snowboard and freeski helmets are designed for maximum insulation and protection in the snow, the dedicated bike helmets for enduro and downhill offer optimised airflow and lower weight for hot days on the trail.
