The Smith Method replaced the older Smith Maze model but has had some significant upgrades, one of which is the introduction of zonal koroyd.

 

Initially developed for the aerospace sector, Koroyd was originally conceived as an energy absorber. Through exploration, it was discovered that cylindrical structures possess remarkable resilience in nature, displaying exceptional impact absorption capabilities relative to their compact size. Drawing from this remarkable insight, Koroyd® utilizes the power of cylinders to create a groundbreaking framework that exhibits unparalleled behavior compared to conventional protective materials. In contrast to traditional substances that operate akin to springs, storing and releasing energy, Koroyd® functions as a bona fide energy absorber. It effectively converts kinetic energy by collapsing or crumpling upon impact. This distinct characteristic leads to the superior absorption of impact energy, offering enhanced protection and performance.
