Nexus (left) & Summit (right)
Smith Nexus All-Mountain Snow Helmet
Offering Smith’s most advanced features and technologies, the Nexus’s progressive, lightweight, and low-profile design is an evolution of the best-selling Quantum helmet. Designed for bomber protection to hold up season after season, the Nexus hybrid construction includes a durable exterior with an impact-resistant exoskeleton blended into a lightweight in-mold shell and includes complete Koroyd coverage for lightweight, energy-absorbing, and fully ventilated impact protection. The incorporation of the MIPS Brain Protection System offers additional safeguards by reducing rotational forces caused by angled impacts. Finally, the quick-release Fidlock® strap buckle provides a secure closure and one-hand operation for getting the helmet on and off.
For comfort and fit, the micro-adjustability of the BOA 360 Fit System creates dialed-in customized conformity to the head on the fly. At the same time, the sweat-wicking Ionic+ antimicrobial liner adds warmth and minimizes odor inside the shell. The removable earpads offer additional form-fitting comfort and are compatible with the Smith x Aleck audio systems (sold separately). The 24 vents with regulator adjustment on the Nexus, plus Smith’s AirEvac ventilation system with dual action shutter system to control the front and rear vents independently, are designed for ultimate integration with Smith goggles to keep airflow moving for comfort and eyewear fog-free for optimized visibility.

The Palmer (far right)
James Brand The Palmer
Maximum Utility.
The James Palmer packs all the functionality of the classic utility knife in a refined design that sits comfortably in your hand and pocket. The patent-pending (our first!) mechanism enables tool-free blade changes and a buttery smooth action. The Palmer bridges the gap between traditional everyday carry, lifestyle accessory, and pure utilitarian object, featuring anodized aluminum handles a lanyard for easy deployment and six fabulous colors.
MSRP $59
James Brand The Redstone
The outdoor adventure knife is entirely re-imagined.
For the Redstone, James Brand worked with rock climber and photographer Savannah Cummins on a genuinely different knife concept, which is evident at a glance. Though a bit wild-looking, the Redstone was designed with function and utility first. Fully operable with one hand, it’s easy to open thanks to the oversized thumb hole and close thanks to the convenient slide TJB Slide Lock. The 2.5” Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel features a drop point design and partially serrated blade, great for everything from slicing an apple to cutting rope.
Meanwhile, the unique “island” grips, made of polypropylene, are based on rock climbing holds, adding traction and allowing for a natural finger rest, so the Redstone won’t slip out of your hand. When not in use, the bent wire clip makes for easy carrying on your belt or pocket while not adding weight to the overall package, and the removable lanyard enables you to hook it on a carabiner. Featuring a single-piece steel chassis, the Redstone is also built to be durable and not overly complicated.
MSRP $99
