This is the simplest, lightest, and thinnest solution to dissipate oblique forces from any direction. Combined with Slytechs NoShock technology, a patent pending EPP honeycomb cone structured foam integrated within the impact recovery EPP core of the helmet, the two systems provide an unparalleled synergy against linear and multi-directional forces to the head during impact. It is built to withstand tree lines in the backcountry, and harsh slams in the terrain park, while providing optimal air flow. It features a soft comfort liner with Aegis Microbe Shielding for anti-bacterial and anti-odor action, and our Perfect Fit Finder system to provide the best customized fit. Removable goggle buckle, ear and neck pads.
