ALPINESTARS Youth SM3 Helmet - Solid Matte Black

The Alpinestars Youth SM3 Helmet offers advanced protection and high-performance features specifically engineered for young riders. Combining a lightweight design with technologically advanced safety systems, this helmet provides the ideal balance of impact resistance and all-day comfort for off-road adventures.

At the core of the SM3 is a thermo-injected shell featuring a specialized polymer blend. This shell is constructed with varying degrees of thickness to deliver targeted impact protection where it is needed most without adding unnecessary weight. The multiple-density inner liner further enhances this protection, ensuring the correct density is applied in critical areas for superior energy absorption. To defend against rotational acceleration forces, a low-friction coating is applied to the main EPS liner, acting as a slip plane to mimic the body’s natural defenses during certain oblique impacts.

Rider comfort and temperature regulation are prioritized through a maximized ventilation system. Featuring ten intake ports and seven exhaust ports, the helmet ensures high levels of heat transfer exchange. The visor is specifically designed to direct air into these ports to enhance airflow, while its integrated release system is calibrated to detach with a pre-determined amount of force, effectively reducing strain on the neck during an impact.

The interior is designed for a tailored fit, utilizing interchangeable crown and cheek pads to suit the rider’s head shape. The comfort liner is constructed using recycled materials to reduce its environmental footprint, while 3D contoured foam ensures a plush feel. For added safety and convenience, the helmet includes an Emergency Release System for safe removal by medical professionals and integrated hydration tube channels for performance on the go.
