FAQs
What is Inmold construction?
Inmold construction fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner during the manufacturing process. This creates a stronger, lighter, and more durable helmet compared to traditional methods.
How do I know if the helmet fits properly?
A properly fitting helmet should sit level on the head, covering the forehead. It should be snug, with no excessive movement side-to-side or front-to-back. The straps should form a 'V' shape under each ear, and the buckle should be fastened securely.
Can I attach lights to this helmet?
Yes, this helmet is designed to be compatible with an optional ALPINA Plug-In Light, which can be retrofitted for increased visibility. The light is sold separately.
What age group is this helmet intended for?
This ALPINA HACKNEY cycling helmet is specifically designed for kids.
How do I clean my helmet?
Clean the helmet with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials. Allow it to air dry completely.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation for warranty information.
What does 'twist-proof harness buckle' mean?
The 'twist-proof' feature ensures that the buckle, typically located at the back of the helmet for adjustment, remains securely in place and does not easily twist or loosen, contributing to a stable fit.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or shifts during activity
Adjust the harness buckle at the back and the straps around the ears for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the tiltable adjustment system is properly tightened.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle is properly aligned before fastening. If it remains stiff, check for any debris and clean gently. The multi-stage locking system might require a firm press to engage fully.
Straps are uncomfortable around the ears
Readjust the position of the straps using the sliders provided. Ensure they lie flat against the head and do not pinch or chafe.
Helmet does not seem to fit correctly despite size selection
Re-measure head circumference to confirm correct sizing. Utilize the tiltable adjustment system and strap length to achieve the best possible fit. If issues persist, consider consulting with a retailer.
