The Alpinestars Youth SM3 Helmet in Fray Gloss Red/Yellow Fluo/Black is engineered to deliver superior impact protection while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it ideal for young riders. Its thermo-injected shell incorporates a specialized polymer blend with varying thicknesses, providing an optimal balance of durability and weight savings. The lightweight outer shell is constructed from advanced impact-resistant thermoplastic, ensuring robust protection without compromising comfort.
The helmet features an adjustable fit system, allowing riders to customize the fit using interchangeable crown and cheek pads available in different thicknesses. The multiple-density inner liner enhances impact absorption by providing support tailored to different areas of the head, reducing overall weight and improving rider comfort. Additionally, the helmet's design minimizes the effects of oblique impacts with engineered surfaces that reduce rotational forces, contributing to increased safety in diverse crash scenarios.
Ventilation is maximized through ten intake ports and seven exhaust outlets, with the visor designed to channel airflow into these ports for continuous cooling. The visor release system is calibrated to release with a predetermined force, reducing strain on the rider’s neck during an impact. Comfort is further enhanced by the use of recycled materials in the liner, aligning with eco-conscious manufacturing practices. Integrated hydration tube channels in the cheek pads provide convenient access during activity, while the soft textile chin strap ensures a secure, comfortable fit.
Safety features include an emergency release system and removable cheek pads that facilitate easy removal without removing the helmet, crucial in emergency situations. The 3D contoured foam lining offers additional comfort and a secure fit. Stainless steel D-rings guarantee a tight, reliable closure, while the interior surface is treated with a low friction coating to reduce rotational acceleration forces caused by oblique impacts, mimicking the body’s natural cerebrospinal fluid. Designed for active young riders, the Alpinestars SM3 helmet offers a combination of innovative safety features, comfort, and eco-friendly materials, making it a top choice for youth motocross and riding enthusiasts.
