FAQs

What safety certification does this helmet have?

The Alpinestars SM5 Action 2 Helmet features ECE 22-06 certification, which is the latest European safety standard.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 1,350 grams for a size medium (including the helmet peak).

How is the helmet secured?

It features a traditional and secure Double D-Ring closure system for the chin strap.

Can I wash the helmet's interior?

Yes, the interior padding is typically removable and can be hand-washed with cold water and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.

Is this helmet suitable for street riding?

This helmet is specifically designed for motocross and off-road use. While it meets safety standards, it may not be ideal or legal for all forms of street riding depending on local regulations.

What materials are used in the shell construction?

The shell is made from a thermo-injected polymer blend, designed for a balance of impact protection and light weight.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the Double D-Ring chin strap for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the helmet is the correct size for your head circumference. Consider aftermarket padding if available for fine-tuning the fit.

Strap adjustment is difficult

Ensure the D-rings are clean and free of debris. Practice threading the strap through the D-rings until you find a smooth motion.

Exterior shell appears scuffed

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the shell's integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Alpinestars SM5 Action 2 Helmet comes ready to wear. Ensure the Double D-Ring chin strap is adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit. The strap should be tight enough that you cannot slide two fingers between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed for motocross and off-road riding. It features a profile compatible with neck braces. While it meets ECE 22-06 standards, always check local regulations if using outside of certified regions.

Care: To clean the shell, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Regularly inspect the shell and straps for any signs of damage.
