In terms of aesthetics, contrary to the normal pursuit of speed by traditional sports brands, Smith adheres to the minimalist design credo of less is more, and has launched many highly recognizable ski helmets.

The most common approach is to use a double-layer EPS buffer layer, which has the advantage of achieving a significant improvement in safety performance at a very low price and cost, but the disadvantage is also obvious, EPS has a strong thermal insulation ability, and double-layer EPS will greatly reduce the heat dissipation capacity of the helmet. Faced with this problem, Smith gave a relatively perfect answer, that is, on top of the single-layer EPS cushion, an additional layer of honeycomb structure tubular is similar to EPS, on the one hand, it can absorb the impact force by crushing, and on the other hand, the negative impact on ventilation performance is much lower than that of the double-layer EPS cushion.
