FAQs

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

Use a flexible measuring tape and measure around your head, about one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part of your head.

How often should I replace my Alpinestars SM5 helmet?

Replace the helmet every five years, or sooner if it has been involved in an impact or shows signs of wear and tear.

Can I wash the inner liner?

Yes, you can usually remove and hand wash the inner liner with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before re-installing.

What should I do if my helmet gets damaged in a crash?

Replace the helmet immediately, even if there are no visible signs of damage. The EPS liner may have absorbed impact and lost its effectiveness.

How do I care for the Double D-Ring closure?

Make sure the D-rings slide freely and are not damaged. If they become difficult to use, clean them and ensure they are not bent.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as visors and liners, are often available through Alpinestars retailers or their website.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose.

Re-adjust the Double D-Ring closure for a tighter fit. If the problem persists, try a smaller helmet size.

Visor fogs up during rides.

Ensure proper ventilation and consider using an anti-fog treatment on the visor.

Helmet feels uncomfortable.

Check for correct sizing and ensure the helmet fits snugly but doesn't create pressure points. If discomfort continues, consider a different helmet model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design reduces strain during long rides.
  • Advanced EPS liner provides excellent impact absorption.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  • Secure Double D-Ring closure for a reliable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing and Fit: Ensure you select the correct size by measuring your head circumference and consulting the Alpinestars size chart. A snug fit is essential for safety.
  2. Double D-Ring Closure: Properly adjust the chin strap using the Double D-Ring system. Ensure the strap is tight enough to prevent the helmet from rotating during impact.
  3. Cleaning: Clean the helmet regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can damage the shell or liner.
  4. Drying: Allow the helmet to air dry after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
  5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents. Replace the helmet immediately if any damage is found.
