FAQs

How do I clean the helmet lining?

The lining is removable and washable. Hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before re-installing.

What is MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a technology designed to reduce rotational forces to the brain during impacts, enhancing safety.

How do I adjust the visor?

The visor is designed to be securely attached. Ensure it is correctly positioned and latched. The visor release system is designed to detach in the event of a crash.

Is the helmet hydration-compatible?

Yes, the helmet is hydration kit compatible, making it suitable for long rides where staying hydrated is essential.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced after any significant impact or crash. It's recommended to replace them every 3-5 years, depending on usage and care.

What is the D-ring closure?

The D-ring closure is a secure and reliable fastening system for the chin strap, ensuring a snug fit.

What is the Emergency Release System (ERS)?

The Emergency Release System (ERS) is padding designed for quick and safe helmet removal in the event of an emergency, minimizing potential neck and head injuries.

How do I clean the air vents?

The removable chin air vent should be cleaned regularly to remove any debris that could be blocking the airflow. Use a soft brush or compressed air.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Check the fit and adjust the chin strap. Ensure you have the correct helmet size according to the Alpinestars size chart. Consider using different cheek pads to better customize the helmet's fit.

Poor ventilation; helmet feels hot.

Ensure the air vents are open and not blocked. Clean the vents regularly to allow for maximum airflow. Check the fit of your goggles as they may be obstructing vents.

Difficulty removing the helmet after an impact.

In an emergency, rely on the ERS padding system for safe helmet removal by trained professionals. Contact emergency services if necessary.
