FAQs

What is the ECE 22-06 safety rating?

The ECE 22-06 is a European safety standard for helmets, indicating that the helmet has passed specific impact tests and meets certain safety requirements.

How do I measure for the correct helmet size?

Measure the circumference of the head about one inch above the eyebrows and around the widest part of the head. Use the manufacturer's sizing chart to determine the correct helmet size.

Can I wash the helmet liner?

Yes, many helmet liners are removable and washable. Check the helmet's manual for specific instructions.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced every five years from the date of manufacture, or sooner if they have been involved in a crash or show signs of damage.

What is a Double D-ring closure?

A Double D-ring closure is a secure and reliable system for fastening the helmet. The chin strap is threaded through two D-rings and then secured.

Is this helmet suitable for street riding?

The SM3 Youth Helmet is optimized for MX, Enduro and Off-road use. Consider a helmet designed specifically for street riding for optimal safety and performance on the road.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as liners and cheek pads, can often be found on the Alpinestars website or through authorized dealers.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight.

Check the sizing guide and ensure the correct size is being used. If necessary, consider a different size or helmet model.

Double D-ring closure is difficult to fasten.

Practice fastening the closure before use. Ensure the straps are properly aligned and not twisted.

Liner feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the liner is properly seated inside the helmet. Consider using a balaclava or head sock for added comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. Use the manufacturer's sizing guide to find the correct fit for the rider's head circumference. Check for any pressure points.
  2. Fastening: Always fasten the Double D-ring closure securely before each ride. Make sure the chin strap is tight enough to prevent the helmet from moving during a crash.
  3. Cleaning: Clean the helmet regularly with mild soap and water. Remove the liner and cheek pads (if removable) to wash them separately. Avoid using harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents. Replace the helmet immediately if it has been involved in a crash or shows any signs of wear and tear.
