Alpinestars SM3 Youth Radium Helmet YLW Fluo/Blk/Blue YS – Youth Off-Road Motorcycle Helmet with Impact Protection and Ventilation

$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.

The Alpinestars SM3 Youth Radium Helmet is specially designed for young riders involved in motocross, enduro, and off-road activities, offering a tailored fit and advanced safety features. Constructed with a thermo-injected shell made from a specialized impact-resistant thermoplastic, this helmet provides a lightweight yet durable protection solution. The shell's varying thickness ensures optimal impact absorption while maintaining minimal weight, with the Youth Small version weighing approximately 2.4 pounds (1060 grams) and the larger sizes slightly heavier. Separate shells for DOT and ECE standards include a composite fiber layer in the DOT version, enhancing impact resistance and rider safety. The helmet's fit can be customized through adjustable crown and cheek pads, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit as the rider grows, especially for those in the Youth Medium and Large sizes sharing the same EPS size. For smaller riders, the Youth Small offers tailored sizing suitable for children aged 3 to 4 years. The helmet features multiple density inner liners, strategically designed to absorb impact forces effectively and reduce rotational acceleration through a patented low friction coating that mimics cerebrospinal fluid, minimizing oblique impact risks. The visor release system is engineered to detach with a pre-determined force, reducing neck strain during impacts. Additionally, the helmet incorporates a comfort liner made from recycled materials, supporting sustainability efforts. Integrated hydration tube channels in the cheek pads enhance convenience during rides, while maximum ventilation is achieved through a system of 10 inlet vents and seven exhaust ports, directing airflow efficiently for optimal heat transfer. The SM3 Youth helmet complies with both DOT and ECE 2206 standards, ensuring worldwide usability and safety. Features such as the Emergency Release System, removable cheek pads, and stainless steel D-rings add to its safety and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for young off-road enthusiasts seeking protection, comfort, and performance in a lightweight package.
