The new Payroll half-shell design helmet from Smith offers complete coverage and the most advanced protection technologies for enduro, trail, and e-MTB rides.
The lightweight in-mold construction houses internal zonal Koroyd coverage for lightweight, energy-absorbing, and ventilated impact protection. The addition of the MIPS Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head in the event of a crash. In addition to CPSC and CE EN 1078 certifications, the Payroll is also NTA-8776 e-bike certified. That means it has been tested at higher speeds to support impact protection when riding with motorized assistance.
The Payroll is designed for ultimate integration with Smith performance eyewear and goggles. It offers maximum comfort, venting and storage convenience. The three-position adjustable visor generously accommodates sunglasses or goggles between runs.
Additional features include an Iconic+ antimicrobial lining, providing perspiration absorption and sweat-activated odor control during long days on the trail. For fine tuning comfort on the fly, Smith’s VaporFit system provides 270-degree fit adjustment. Generous vents with internal air channels keep riders cool when charging uphill and focused on the descent.
It is available in five inline color options (MSRP $200) – plus a new Matte Black/Topo design in partnership with Aleck (MSRP $220). The latter integrates the new Aleck CS intelligent impact crash sensor directly into the helmet’s fit system.
The Aleck crash sensor measures impact forces, confirms your status and sends an emergency message with your GPS location, if necessary. The Aleck crash sensor connects to your chosen contacts via the free Aleck phone app as well as any other Aleck app users within a 1.8-mile radius, no subscription required.
The new Payroll helmet (Weight: 14oz/400g, size medium) is available now (MSRP $200) at select retailers worldwide and online at smithoptics.com.
