The Alpinestars Youth SM3 Helmet in a sleek matte black finish offers advanced protection and comfort for young riders. Crafted with a thermo-injected shell that incorporates a specialized polymer blend, this helmet balances impact resistance with lightweight performance. The varying thickness of the shell enhances shock absorption while maintaining a manageable weight, making it ideal for active youth riders. The outer shell is constructed from impact-resistant thermoplastic, providing durability and long-lasting protection in a range of riding conditions.
The helmet's fit can be customized thanks to adjustable crown and cheek pads, which are available as spare parts in different thicknesses to ensure a snug, comfortable fit for growing riders. Inside, a multiple density liner is designed to distribute impact forces efficiently, reducing the risk of injury while also keeping the helmet lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. The inner and outer surfaces are engineered to minimize damage from oblique impacts, enhancing safety during angled falls.
A low friction coating applied to the EPS liner acts as a slip plane, reducing rotational acceleration forces that can cause brain injuries during certain impacts. This feature mimics the brain’s natural cerebrospinal fluid, providing an extra layer of protection. The helmet's ventilation system is highly effective, featuring ten intake ports and seven exhaust vents that work together to maximize airflow and heat transfer, keeping young riders cool in warm conditions. The visor is designed to channel air into these ventilation ports, further enhancing airflow and rider comfort. An integrated visor release system ensures that the visor detaches with a pre-determined force, reducing strain on the neck during impacts.
Sustainability is also considered, with the comfort liner made from recycled materials to lower the helmet's carbon footprint. The helmet includes hydration tube channels integrated into the cheek pads for quick access during rides, and a soft textile chin strap measuring 25 mm provides both safety and comfort. It features an Emergency Release System and removable cheek pads, allowing for safe and easy removal of the helmet in emergency situations. The 3D contoured foam inside offers ergonomic comfort, while stainless steel D-rings ensure a secure fit. This youth helmet combines safety, comfort, and eco-conscious design to meet the demands of young riders on the go.
