Frame Technologies

technology-articulating-outrigger-positioning-system

A key element in goggle/helmet compatibility. Engineered to adjust to a full range of face shapes and sizes, the Articulating Outrigger Positioning System evenly transfers pressure across the brow and nose to ensure a complete seal against the face. When used with a helmet, the outrigger articulates allowing the goggle frame to sink into the helmet face port, ultimately providing a comfortable and consistent fit every time.

technology-ergonomic-outrigger-positioning-system

The Ergonomic Outrigger Positioning System featured on the new Stance Regulator is strategically positioned on the frame to draw the strap forward and away from the goggle frame to provide a perfect fit—with and without a helmet—for a wide range of face sizes and shapes. The outriggers evenly distribute pressure on the goggle frame to create a complete seal on the face, for a consistently comfortable fit every time.

technology-flexible-urethane-frame

Smith uses a unique urethane compound, which allows the frame to conform to individual facial features while maintaining its flexibility in extreme cold temperatures.

Our Evolve program integrates more ecologically-friendly materials into our products wherever possible. In 2008, we introduced goggles made from 96% re-ground urethane. Utilizing recycled material from other companies, we reduced our dependency on virgin urethane. As the next step in our Evolve program, we have integrated Pearlthane ECO bio-TPU into our goggle line wherever possible. This material is composed of 40% bio-based material, derived from plant-based oils separate from the world’s food supply. Simply put, this new material performs equally as well as traditional urethane while contributing up to 40% fewer global warming emissions in the manufacturing of the material.
