Product Information
Full details
The Altura Nightvision Helmet is designed for urban commuters and road cyclists who prioritize visibility without sacrificing aesthetics. Its core benefit is the advanced in-mould reflective technology that keeps riders visible in low-light conditions, though users should note that the integrated peak, while functional, is fixed and not adjustable for different angles of sun protection.

FAQs
Is the peak removable?
The peak is designed as an integrated part of the helmet shell and is not intended to be removed.
Can I replace the internal padding?
Yes, the padding is removable for cleaning. If it becomes worn over time, you can replace it with standard replacement padding kits.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it offers impact protection, it is specifically optimized for urban and road cycling; it lacks the extended rear coverage often found on dedicated mountain bike helmets.
How do I clean the reflective material?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or strong solvents which could damage the reflective properties.
Does this helmet provide ventilation?
Yes, the shell is designed with vents to allow airflow, keeping the rider cool during commutes.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when adjusted
Ensure the rear retention system is fully engaged and that you are not wearing thick headgear that prevents the strap from sitting flush against the head.
Straps rubbing against ears
Adjust the side buckles (sliders) to ensure the V-shape strap sits neatly around each ear without pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the helmet on your head so it sits level, not tilted back. Turn the rear adjustment dial until the helmet feels secure but comfortable against your skull. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so that it sits just below the earlobe, with enough room to fit two fingers between the strap and your chin.
For maintenance, gently remove the internal padding and hand-wash it in cool water with mild soap, then air dry completely before re-attaching. Clean the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the reflective coating. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
