Gear Review: Smith Nexus Mips Helmet and 4D MAG Goggles for Winter 2023-2024

Embarking on the Slopes with the Smith Nexus Mips Helmet

Selecting the striking Matte Pacific color, the Smith Nexus Mips Helmet immediately stood out for its head-turning aesthetics. Beyond its visual appeal, the lightweight, low-profile design elevated my skiing experience to new heights. The hybrid shell construction, balancing durability with a sleek in-molded shell, made it feel like I wasn’t wearing a helmet at all, without compromising on essential safety features.

A Weightless Guardian

Wearing the Nexus felt like a liberation rather than a burden. The advanced KOROYD® technology provided a level of lightweight, energy-absorbing protection that traditional foam helmets couldn’t match. Navigating the mountain felt agile, with the helmet adapting seamlessly to my movements. The impact-resistant exoskeleton and Mips® Brain Protection System offered peace of mind, knowing that I was well-protected in every descent.

Comfort Redefined: The BOA® 360 Fit System

The micro-adjustable BOA® 360 Fit System was a game-changer. The helmet adapted to my entire head, offering a level of comfort that allowed me to focus solely on the thrill of the ride. The sweat-wicking, odor-fighting liner kept me warm, and the front and rear adjustable 24-vent design allowed me to regulate airflow based on the changing conditions.

User-Friendly Features: From Fidlock® to Fit

The Fidlock® strap buckle showcased thoughtful design. Its easy one-hand operation was a welcome feature, especially when gearing up with gloves on. The helmet’s form-fitting comfort was accentuated by removable ear pads, offering a personalized touch to the overall experience. It’s these small yet impactful details that set the Nexus apart.

Navigating the Terrain with the Smith 4D MAG Goggles

Donning the AC | Sage Cattabriga-Alosa + ChromaPop™ Sun Black Gold Mirror 4D MAG Goggles, I entered a new dimension of vision on the mountain.

ChromaPop™ Brilliance: Seeing is Believing

The ChromaPop™ lens technology lived up to its promise, enhancing color, clarity, and definition. The world around me became a vivid panorama, and every detail popped with unparalleled brilliance. Whether in bright sunlight or overcast conditions, the ChromaPop™ lenses proved their versatility.

Magnetic Mastery: Smith MAG Lens Change System

Changing lenses mid-descent has never been smoother. The Smith MAG lens change system, employing magnets for quick changes, became a game-changer. The magnetic clasp securely held the lenses in place while allowing for swift changes, even with gloves on. It was a testament to Smith’s commitment to adaptability in the ever-changing mountain environment.

Expanding Horizons: BirdsEye Vision

BirdsEye Vision, offering a 25% increase in the field of view, was transformative. I wasn’t just aware of my line but also of fellow riders in my periphery. It enhanced safety and situational awareness, crucial elements when navigating crowded slopes.

Seamless Integration: Fit, Comfort, and Fog-Free Performance

The 4D MAG Goggles seamlessly integrated with my Smith helmet. The QuickFit strap adjustment system, ultra-wide silicone-backed strap, and three-layer DriWix face foam ensured a snug fit that stayed in place even during high-speed descents. The AirEvac ventilation system, designed for fog-free lenses, was a welcomed assurance in varied weather conditions.

Personal Experience: A Weightless Journey

The lightweight construction of the Nexus helmet made it feel like a natural extension of my skiing experience. The magnet clasp, securing the helmet under my chin, struck a perfect balance between security and convenience. It provided a snug fit that stayed put, even during the most exhilarating runs. Taking off the helmet with gloves on was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly design—a testament to the thoughtful engineering that defines Smith gear.

Master the Slopes: My Experience with 2022 Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots

The Importance of High-Quality Snowboarding Boots

Snowboarding requires the right gear to achieve a perfect ride. From boards to bindings, my equipment can make or break my experience on the mountain. One of the most crucial components of my snowboarding setup is my boots. A great pair of boots can help me feel comfortable, stable, and supported throughout the day.

The Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard boots are a high-quality option for female snowboarders like me, looking for top-of-the-line warmth, comfort, and micro-adjustability. The benefit of the BOA® Fit System is that it delivers micro-adjustable, precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.

The BOA® Fit System H4 platform attached to these snowboarding boots makes it easy to get a snug, secure fit that won’t loosen over time, ensuring maximum control on the mountain. The boots feature a Dual-Zone BOA® Fit System with Coiler™ technology, which allows me to independently adjust the upper and lower zones of the boot for a custom fit.

The BOA® Fit System is guaranteed for the lifetime of the product on which it is integrated, giving me peace of mind when investing in a boot with BOA tech.

Features: Customizable Fit and Total Comfort Construction

One of the standout features of the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots is their total comfort construction. This design immediately creates an instantly broken-in feel, eliminating the need for a break-in period. The snow-proof internal gusset completely seals the lower zone of the boot, keeping my feet warm and dry in any conditions.

The Imprint 3 heat-moldable liner has a hook-and-loop closure system, an inner lace lock for a snug fit, and a lightweight power panel for added response. The liner also features DRYRIDE Heat Cycle lining, which captures, radiates, and reflects body heat inward to keep my feet warm while wicking away heat-robbing moisture. With these features, the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots will keep my feet comfortable and dry all day.

Performance: Stiff Flex and Responsive Feel for All-Around Riding

In terms of performance, the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots offer a stiff flex for a playful, responsive feel. The boots feature a durable polyurethane backstay and a 1:1 medium-flex PowerUp tongue that creates a snug fit between the boot and tongue, eliminating the need to readjust while I ride. The Focus cuff boosts heel hold by hugging the ankle, riding slightly higher for increased response. In contrast, the Plush cuff 1.0 tightly hugs my calf with medial and lateral neoprene stretch zones and a super soft fur lining for additional warmth and comfort.

Cushioning: Maximum Comfort and Control on Rough Terrain

The Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots also feature cushioning technologies to improve comfort and control. The boots use Women’s-specific True Fit, designed for a lower volume and more accurate fit for a woman’s foot resulting in better board feel and control. The ReBounce technology brings cushioning closer to my foot by placing it within the boot’s shell for an added layer of impact protection sitting directly beneath my foot. The Sleeping Bag’s reflective foil underfoot reflects heat to my foot, improving warmth and comfort in cold conditions.

Outsole: Vibram® Traction Lug and EST® Optimized Midsole for Better Grip and Board Feel

The outsole of the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots is equally impressive. The EST® optimized midsole lowers my center of gravity and improves board feels without sacrificing comfort. The Vibram® Traction Lug outsole with EcoStep™ rubber provides increased surface area for more contact points that grip the ground in a lightweight package with 30% recycled rubber content.

Elevate Your Snowboarding Experience with Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots

As a female snowboarder who needs boots strong enough to match my skill level and traverse any terrain, the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots are the ideal choice. The boots have adjustable micro-fit and remarkable warmth, allowing me to tailor the fit for maximum control. Furthermore, their stiff flex and reactive construction are apt for navigating tight turns and tackling jumps.

Thanks to their cushioning and sole structure, these boots are also equipped to keep me comfortable and stable on uneven surfaces. In conclusion, the Burton Felix BOA® Women’s Snowboard Boots will benefit any female snowboarder looking to maximize their time on the mountain. The advanced features and design will keep me performing my best in all weather conditions.
