Full details
The ALPINA HAGA is an urban cycling helmet designed for adult commuters and style-conscious cyclists who prioritize safety and comfort. Its key benefit is offering robust impact protection and enhanced visibility with an integrated rear light. A potential consideration is its fixed ventilation system, which may be less adaptable than adjustable vents in extreme conditions. Key features include Hi-EPS material for impact absorption, a Run System Ergo Flex for comfort, strategically placed ventilation, and a user-friendly automatic buckle.

FAQs
What is Hi-EPS material and why is it used?
Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene) is a material made from microscopic air chambers that provides excellent impact absorption. It's used in the HAGA helmet to protect your head effectively in the event of a collision.
How does the integrated rear light improve safety?
The rear light is strategically placed to be highly visible to other road users, especially from the side and rear. This increased visibility helps prevent accidents, particularly in traffic or low-light conditions.
Is the visor on this helmet adjustable?
No, the visor on the ALPINA HAGA helmet is fixed and provides protection against spray and the sun. It is not adjustable.
What is the 'Inmold' construction mentioned?
Inmold construction means the outer shell is permanently bonded to the shock-absorbing EPS foam liner during the manufacturing process. This results in a lighter, stronger helmet with a more integrated design.
How do I clean my ALPINA HAGA helmet?
Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the helmet's materials and finish.
What head circumference does this helmet fit?
This specific model is designed to fit head circumferences between 58 and 63 cm.
Can this helmet be used for mountain biking?
The ALPINA HAGA is primarily designed for urban cycling and commuting. While it offers good protection, it may not have the specific features or coverage required for more demanding activities like mountain biking.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.
Adjust the Run System Ergo Flex dial at the rear for a tighter fit. Ensure the Y-clip straps are correctly positioned around the ears.
Strap buckle is difficult to operate.
Ensure the buckle is clean and free of debris. The Ergomatic buckle is designed for easy operation; if it's stiff, check for obstructions.
Rear light is not functioning.
Check if the rear light has a battery compartment and if the batteries are correctly installed and charged/new. Consult the product manual for specific battery replacement instructions.
Helmet causes discomfort or pressure points.
Readjust the Run System Ergo Flex and straps for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure the helmet size is appropriate for your head circumference.
