VAS mechanism with a variable axis incorporating a moving pivot point
By combining the pin trajectory, which is based on an imaginary axis-- with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position
A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal
Being able to see the shield mechanism allows for easier shield change
Shield Latch
The VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening
In addition to the de-mist function, the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation
Smaller and lower VAS pivot cover and smooth shell along the SNell test line in the temple area increases the helmet''s ability to glance off objects during an impact
PB-SNC² Shell
Created from super fiber and synthetic fibers, the shell provides tensile strength and flexibilty characteristics
