Alpinestars SM3 Youth Radium Helmet Ylw Fluo/Blk/Blue for Youth Riders

$229.95
Anatomically engineered and profiled specifically for youth and younger riders, the all-new SM3 Youth is optimized for MX, Enduro and Off-road use, and features a whole raft of technologies and innovations taken from Alpinestars range of adult helmets to deliver the optimal blend of performance, protection and comfort. This lightweight helmet features a thermo-injected shell incorporating a special polymer blend enhanced by varying degrees of thickness that is engineered to deliver the optimal combination of impact protection and light weight. Lightweight outer shell is constructed from a technologically advanced impact resistant thermoplastic in three sizes (Youth Small, Youth Medium and Youth Large. The SM3 Youth weighs 1060g (ECE) and 1170g (DOT). Separate versions of the shells for DOT and ECE requirements; the DOT certified version of the helmet’s inner shell is constructed with a composite fiber assembled between the outer shell and the EPS liner for maximum protection against impacts. The fit can be tailored to the rider’s head thanks to the helmet’s crown and cheek pads, which are available as genuine spare parts in different thicknesses. Youth Medium and Youth Large sizes share the same EPS size, which allows riders with an YM size to initially buy an YM helmet and then configure it to a Youth Large size as they grow via the crown and cheek pad spare parts. The Youth Small has a smaller EPS size and can be customized only via the cheek pads. Alpinestars extensive research has shown that the kids that wear a YS size are very small, typically 3 to 4 years old, and therefore they require a dedicated helmet fit. Multiple density inner liner ensures the helmet is equipped with the correct density in the correct area for enhanced impact absorption, while also helping reduce overall weight. The inner and outer surfaces are engineered to minimize the effects of oblique impacts. Alpinestars patented low friction coating is applied to the inner part of the main EPS liner to reduce the rotational acceleration forces that can result from certain oblique impacts. This layer essentially acts as a slip plane to mimic the brain’s own low friction cerebrospinal fluid, which is the body’s natural defense against oblique impacts. Patented visor release system ensures the visor is released with the correct pre-determined amount of force, effectively reducing the forces on the rider’s neck during an impact. Comfort liner is constructed using recycled materials for a lower carbon footprint. Hydration tube channels are integrated into the helmet’s cheek pads for convenience and performance.

Designed specifically for young motocross, enduro, and off-road enthusiasts, the Alpinestars SM3 Youth Radium Helmet combines advanced safety features with tailored comfort for growing riders. This helmet features a lightweight thermo-injected shell crafted from impact-resistant thermoplastic, incorporating varying thicknesses to optimize impact protection while minimizing weight. With a total weight of approximately 37 ounces, it offers a comfortable fit without sacrificing safety, making it ideal for children and young riders engaged in high-impact activities. The helmet is available in three sizes—Youth Small, Youth Medium, and Youth Large—with separate shells for DOT and ECE certifications, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. The DOT version includes a composite fiber layer between the outer shell and EPS liner to enhance impact absorption, providing peace of mind for parents and riders alike. The adjustable fit is achieved through interchangeable crown and cheek pads, which accommodate growing heads and can be customized for optimal comfort and security. The Youth Small size is designed for children aged 3 to 4 years, with a dedicated EPS size for a more precise fit, while the Youth Medium and Large sizes share the same EPS, allowing for easy size transition as the rider grows. The helmet features multiple density inner liners that absorb impact effectively and reduce overall weight, while engineered surfaces help mitigate oblique impact forces. An innovative low-friction coating on the EPS liner mimics cerebrospinal fluid, reducing rotational forces during oblique impacts for improved brain protection. The visor release system is engineered to detach with a pre-set force, decreasing neck strain during impacts. Comfort is further enhanced through a recycled-material inner liner and integrated hydration channels within the cheek pads, supporting active riders. Ventilation is maximized with ten air inlets and seven exhaust ports, complemented by airflow-directed visor design that channels air into the ports, ensuring optimal heat dissipation during intense activity. The helmet is equipped with an emergency release system and removable cheek pads for safe handling and cleaning, while the 25mm textile chin strap and stainless steel D-rings ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Conforming to both DOT and ECE 2206 standards, the Alpinestars SM3 Youth Radium Helmet offers reliable, high-performance protection tailored for young riders seeking durability, safety, and comfort on the track or trail.
