Key Technical Features

• Hybrid Shell Construction: The three-piece hybrid design strategically reinforces high-impact zones while shedding unnecessary weight, ensuring you stay protected without the neck fatigue on long days at Thredbo or Hotham.

• Full KOROYD® & MIPS® Protection: This heavy-hitting combo offers advanced energy absorption and reduces rotational forces during angled impacts. It's the gold standard in head safety, giving you the confidence to push your limits.

• AirEvac™ & Dual Regulator Venting: With 40 individual vents and independent sliders, you can fine-tune your airflow on the fly. Plus, it pulls warm air away from your goggles to ensure your vision stays fog-free, even when you're working up a sweat.

• Fidlock® Buckle: A magnetic strap system that's easy to use with one hand — even while wearing your thickest snow gloves.
