Helmet Alpinestars S-M3 Youth Wurx Red White

The Alpinestars S-M3 Youth Wurx children's helmet offers safety and comfort for young riders.

Specifications:

• Thermo-injected shell: features a special blend of polymers with variable thicknesses, designed to provide the optimal combination of lightness and impact performance.
• Thermoplastic construction: the lightweight outer shell is made of technologically advanced, impact-resistant thermoplastic, available in three sizes (Youth Small, Youth Medium, and Youth Large) to optimize fit and weight; the SM3 Youth weighs 1060 g (ECE) and 1170 g (DOT).
• Specific DOT/ECE versions: the shells feature separate versions to meet DOT and ECE requirements; in the DOT certified version, the inner shell incorporates composite fiber assembled between the outer shell and the EPS liner to maximize impact protection.
• Customizable fit: crown pads and cheek pads, available as replacement parts in various thicknesses, allow precise adjustment of the helmet to the rider’s head for improved comfort and support.
• YM/YL growth system: Youth Medium (YM) and Youth Large (YL) sizes share the same EPS size, allowing you to start with a YM helmet and later set it up to Youth Large as the rider grows by using the replacement crown and cheek pads.
• YS-specific fit: the Youth Small (YS) size uses a smaller EPS and can only be customized with cheek pads; Alpinestars’ extensive research has shown that children who wear a YS size are usually between 3 and 4 years old, so they require a specific helmet fit.
• NEW ALPINESTARS SAFETY STANDARD: Alpinestars has introduced a new internal standard for the SM3 Youth to subject the helmet’s chin bar to more demanding conditions than the homologation standard; to comply with this new standard, both the shell thickness and chin bar design structure have been optimized to provide superior impact performance.
• Equipped with an emergency release system and removable cheek pads to allow safe and easy removal of pads while the helmet remains in place.
• Stainless steel D-rings ensure a firm and secure fit.
• The SM3 helmet complies with both DOT certification and ECE 22.06 homologation for worldwide use.
• The multi-density inner liner ensures the helmet has the right density in the right area to improve impact absorption, as well as helping reduce overall weight.
• The inner and outer surfaces are designed to minimize the effects of oblique impacts.
• Alpinestars’ patented low-friction coating is applied to the interior of the main EPS liner to reduce rotational acceleration forces that can result from certain oblique impacts. This layer essentially acts as a slip plane to mimic the brain’s low-friction cerebrospinal fluid, which is the body’s natural defense against oblique impacts.
• Maximized ventilation and high levels of heat exchange thanks to 10 intakes and seven outlets.
• The visor has been designed to direct air toward the vents and improve airflow.
• The patented visor release system ensures it releases with the correct predetermined amount of force, effectively reducing forces on the rider’s neck during an impact.
• The Comfort liner is made from recycled materials for a lower carbon footprint.
• Integrated hydration tube channels in the cheek pads provide added comfort and performance.
• The soft textile chin strap is 25 mm wide for optimal rider safety and comfort.
