The Science Behind Smith | How MTB Helmets & Goggles Are Made
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2023
- Take a look into the worlds of either snow sports or bike sports and chances are you'll spot riders wearing some eyewear, helmets, or clothing bearing the Smith logo. While Smith Optics is a global brand today, it had humble beginnings with Dr. Bob Smith hand-making a pair of goggles on his kitchen table! Take a tour with Anna through Smith Optic's Portland Design Lab to learn more about the brand, and how their ideas go from concept through to products you can wear next time you hit the trails.

For nerdy reasons I purchased a Forefront 2 helmet in 2020 and was beyond satisfied with the helmet. Fast forward to 2023 and I decided to buy some new prescription glasses and yet again had a pleasant and easy experience buying them online. Worth the price of admission. My next purchase will certainly be a Mainline to replace my Fox full face.
Smith is a dope brand. Great quality, looks, and technologies. The fact that they don't settle with just MIPS shows they mean business.
I Watch this video again...so well done and thanks I am going to buy a Smith helmet now :)
Ofc they r based in Portland. Awesome
Super video.
the helmets fit me quite well what is nog as easy if you have no round shaped head! So I am absolutely confident with it but I cannot say something about their glasses because I need corrected lenses. So I have to use Oakley or Julbo or Rudy.
I used to have a helmet and glasses/goggles
I love their products but their warranty department is beyond bad.
What else will you be doing while here in the PNW? I hope you will doing some rides!
What do I think, I am so pleased I do not have to travel to Portland. The helmets apart from the mainline still use the hanging rear adjuster, so out of date. The specialized Tactic helmet shell adjuster is so much better. Their sunglasses look good on you. Smith like so many other small design studios give arty creatives some purpose in trying to brighten up the world.
Portland is a Demontwat tip
Fan of SMITH until the people who import their products got lost and i turn my interest to other brands, cheers
Before I got my garage broken in to and niked everything wish I could afford it again 😢😢
I love my Smith's wire frame sunglasses.....Oakleys are overrated JUNK :(
Where did they find a place in Portland to film that wasn't full of trash and tents and graffiti?
It’s old stock footage, with the commentator green screened over the background
THEY made you go to Portland?
I'm so sorry. All of America isn't like that no really Texas is still good ol Texas. Portland just needs an intervention of a extreme proportion. Its where we send our unruly school children to the ones we can't do anything with frankly. Sure it made getting home that much better. Embarrassing, color me red. Hopefully you can recover and still keepemcoming.
You know they made sure she only saw that "good" side of Portland
@@z0phi3l yeah I'm sure
Another of Disney's tedious series of advertisements. Yuk.
This video feels wrong, doddy should of been doing this behind the scene!
