Product Information
Full details
The Altura Nightvision Helmet is designed for urban commuters and everyday cyclists who prioritize safety without sacrificing professional aesthetics. Its primary benefit is the integrated, high-visibility Nightvision technology embedded directly into the shell, ensuring riders are seen from multiple angles in low-light conditions; however, users should note that the integrated peak is fixed for sun and rain protection and is not designed to be adjusted or removed frequently.

FAQs
Can the reflective finish fade over time?
The reflective technology is integrated into the shell, but prolonged exposure to intense UV rays and abrasive cleaning products can dull the effect over many years.
Is the peak removable?
The peak is designed as an integrated part of the helmet structure and is not intended to be removed.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace any helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately following any significant impact, even if no damage is visible.
Can I wear glasses with this helmet?
Yes, the helmet design is compatible with most standard cycling eyewear.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the side sliders allow for adjustment of the strap angle to ensure they sit comfortably around your ears.
Does the helmet offer MIPS protection?
This specific model emphasizes integrated reflective visibility technology and does not include MIPS.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is fully tightened
Adjust the internal cradle position to a different height setting if available, or ensure that thick hair is not interfering with the retention system.
Buckle is pinching the skin
Reposition the chin pad under the buckle or adjust the strap length using the sliders on the side of the helmet.
Excessive sweating inside the helmet
Remove the padding and wash it to clear blocked pores in the material, and ensure that the helmet is not pulled too far forward over your forehead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety, the helmet must be fitted correctly. Begin by loosening the rear dial, placing the helmet level on your head, and tightening the dial until the helmet sits snugly without being uncomfortable. Ensure the straps form a 'V' shape under your ears and that the buckle clicks securely under the chin with enough space for only one or two fingers. For care, clean the exterior shell with a soft cloth and mild soapy water—avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the reflective finish. The microfibre padding should be removed and hand-washed in cool water periodically to manage sweat buildup. Always inspect the shell for hairline cracks or structural damage after any impact.
