KOROYD and SMITH Celebrate More Than a Decade of Partnership with the Launch of the New Vantage 2 Helmet

OVER A DECADE of Innovation in Snow Protection: The SMITH Vantage 2 Featuring KOROYD

The 2013 release of the first SMITH Vantage changed the way riders thought about helmet performance. The collaboration with KOROYD introduced the world’s first snow helmet with advanced impact technology, bringing aerospace-inspired innovation to the slopes. The resulting product delivered exceptional energy absorption and ventilation, setting a new benchmark in snow safety.

The shared legacy of innovation reaches a new peak with the Vantage 2. The redesigned model features increased internal KOROYD coverage and a new outer shell with double the ventilation. Thanks to the breathability benefits of KOROYD, the new layout improves thermal regulation and eliminates 20% more sweat than the previous model.

Built on Innovation. Refined by Experience.


“The original Vantage proved that protection and performance could coexist without compromise,” said John Lloyd, CEO of KOROYD.

“The Vantage 2 is a statement of what’s possible when two brands stay relentlessly committed to innovation and rider protection. It’s proof that progress never stops and that true innovation endures.”
