FAQs
How do I measure my head for the correct helmet size?
Use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your head about an inch above your eyebrows and around the largest part of the back of your head. Consult the Alpinestars sizing chart to match your measurement with the correct helmet size.
Can I wash the helmet liner?
Yes, most helmet liners are removable and washable. Refer to the care instructions included with the helmet for specific washing guidelines.
What safety certifications does this helmet have?
The Alpinestars Honda SM5 Helmet is ECE 22.06 and DOT certified, meeting recognized safety standards.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact. Also replace if the internal padding deteriorates substantially.
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 impact may have compromised the helmet's protective capabilities.
How do I clean the helmet shell?
Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the shell or finish.
Are replacement parts available for the helmet?
Yes, replacement visors, liners, and cheek pads are often available. Check with Alpinestars or an authorized dealer for replacement parts.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Check the size and fit; you may need a larger size. Ensure the cheek pads and liner are correctly positioned. Consider replacing the cheek pads or liner with a thinner option.
Visor fogs up.
Ensure proper ventilation by opening the vents. Use an anti-fog treatment or insert an anti-fog lens.
Strap is difficult to fasten.
Adjust the strap length and ensure the buckle is correctly aligned. Practice fastening the strap until it becomes easier.
Helmet rattles or feels loose.
Check that the helmet size is correct. Adjust or replace the cheek pads or liner to achieve a better fit.
