Helmet Alpinestars S-M3 Youth Wurx Black Yellow

The children's helmet Alpinestars S-M3 Youth Wurx offers safety and comfort for younger riders.

Specifications:

• Thermo-injected shell: incorporates a special blend of polymers with variable thicknesses, designed to offer the optimal combination of lightness and impact performance.
• Thermoplastic construction: the lightweight outer shell is made from advanced, impact-resistant thermoplastic available in three sizes (Youth Small, Youth Medium, and Youth Large) to optimize fit and weight; the SM3 Youth weighs 1060 g (ECE) and 1170 g (DOT).
• Specific DOT/ECE versions: the shells have separate versions to meet DOT and ECE requirements; in the DOT certified version, the inner shell incorporates a composite fiber layered between the outer shell and the EPS liner to maximize impact protection.
• Customizable fit: the crown pads and cheek pads, available as spare parts in different thicknesses, allow for precise helmet fitting to the rider's head for improved comfort and support.
• YM/YL Growth System: the Youth Medium (YM) and Youth Large (YL) sizes share the same EPS size, allowing you to start with a YM helmet and later configure it to Youth Large as the rider grows by using replacement crown and cheek pads.
• Specific YS fit: the Youth Small (YS) size uses a smaller EPS and can only be customized with the cheek pads; extensive research by Alpinestars has shown that children using the YS size are typically between 3 and 4 years old, thus requiring a specific helmet fit.
• NEW ALPINESTARS SAFETY STANDARD: Alpinestars has introduced a new internal standard for the SM3 Youth to subject the helmet's chin bar to more demanding conditions than the homologation standard; to meet this new standard, both the shell thickness and the design structure of the helmet in the chin area have been optimized to offer superior impact performance.
• Equipped with an emergency release system and removable cheek pads to allow safe and easy removal of the pads while the helmet remains in place.
• Stainless steel D-rings ensure a firm and secure fit.
• The SM3 helmet complies with both DOT certification and ECE 22.06 homologation for worldwide use.
• The multi-density inner liner ensures the helmet has the right density in the correct area to improve impact absorption, as well as helping reduce overall weight.
• The interior and exterior surfaces are designed to minimize the effects of oblique impacts.
• Alpinestars' patented low-friction coating is applied to the inside of the main EPS liner to reduce rotational acceleration forces that may result from certain oblique impacts. This layer essentially acts as a slip-plane to mimic the brain’s low-friction cerebrospinal fluid, which is the body’s natural defense against oblique impacts.
• Maximized ventilation and high levels of heat exchange thanks to 10 inlets and seven outlets.
• The visor has been designed to direct air towards the inlets and improve airflow.
• The patented visor release system ensures it releases with the correct preset amount of force, effectively reducing forces on the rider's neck during an impact.
• The Comfort liner is constructed with recycled materials for a lower carbon footprint.
• Channels for the hydration tube are integrated into the helmet’s cheek pads for added comfort and performance.
• The soft textile chin strap is 25 mm for optimal rider safety and comfort.
