FAQs

What is ECE 22-06 certification?

ECE 22-06 is a European safety standard for helmets, ensuring they meet specific impact absorption and penetration resistance requirements.

How do I measure my head for the correct helmet size?

Use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your head, just above your eyebrows and ears. Use this measurement to consult the Alpinestars sizing chart.

What should I do if my helmet has been in a crash?

Replace the helmet immediately, regardless of any visible damage. The impact may have compromised the helmet's protective capabilities.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced every 5 years, or sooner if they have been involved in an impact or show signs of wear and tear.

Can I use the helmet for street riding?

Yes, while designed for off-road use, the helmet meets safety standards suitable for various riding environments.

How do I clean the interior padding?

Most helmet padding is removable and washable. Check the helmet's instructions for specific cleaning guidelines. Use mild soap and water.

What is a double D-ring closure?

A double D-ring closure is a secure and adjustable fastening system commonly used on helmets. It involves threading the chin strap through two D-rings to secure the helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Check the sizing and fit. Adjust the chin strap or consider a different helmet size if needed.

Difficulty fastening the double D-ring closure.

Practice the fastening technique. Ensure the chin strap is correctly threaded through the rings and pulled snug.
