Alpinestars S-M5 Compass Helmet - Matte Black/Orange Fluo (Medium)

Product Details:

The all-new SM5 helmet is the result of more than five years of intensive study, development, and testing. The lightweight helmet features a thermo-injected shell incorporating a special polymer blend enhanced by varying degrees of thickness, engineered to deliver the optimal combination of impact protection and light weight. The five-density EPS liner ensures the correct density in the correct area for enhanced impact absorption.

Fabric Type and Design Features: The side shell is coupled with soft EPS foam, preventing damage to the collarbone in the event of a crash. The emergency release system and removable cheek pads permit the safe and easy removal of the cheek pads while the helmet is still on, and the 3D contoured foam ensures rider comfort. The removable comfort liner is treated with Silverplus fabrics for excellent moisture wicking, effectively drawing perspiration away from the skin.

Safety and Comfort: The soft textile chin strap is 26mm wide, wider than certification requirements, for optimal safety and rider comfort. Other key design features include an engineered raised area with padding to effectively reduce the forces transmitted to the collarbone, and a patented visor release system that ensures the visor is released with the correct pre-determined amount of force, irrespective of the angle of impact.

Conclusion: The SM5 helmet is the result of a meticulous design and engineering process, focused on delivering optimal protection and comfort for the rider. The combination of the thermo-injected shell, five-density EPS liner, and various safety and comfort features make this helmet a top-of-the-line choice for those seeking a lightweight, high-performance protective solution.
