Alpina Oro QV Mips gunmetal matt ski helmet (A9245231)
Advantages
Impact protection
Skiing is classified as a high-risk sport, which means that the greatest possible protection is required during skiing. The helmet offers impact protection, which increases the user[s safety on the slopes.
PC shell
The shell is made of durable polycarbonate. It is a durable and abrasion- and impact-resistant material, characterised by its low weight. It is able to dissipate more impact force than thermoplastic and is relatively cheap to produce, resulting in a more attractive helmet price.
Hardshell construction
The construction combines two layers. One In mould layer with a much harder and thicker outer shell layer. These layers are not closely interconnected and the helmet itself is nevertheless characterised by a higher weight thanks to this construction.
Fidlock fastener
The chin strap uses a Fidlock type fastener. This is a simple fastener that operates using magnets. Its operation is quick and easy, even with thick ski gloves. It is both strong and durable.
EN 1077 certification
This is a European safety certificate which certifies that the helmet has passed crash and point tests. The first part of the test determines the maximum force that can act on the helmet during a collision, checking absorption through deformation, while the second tests the strength of the shell during point impacts, such as with a ski pole.
Soft ear muffs
Soft ear muffs are a different helmet design with ear muffs that are not overlapped by the helmet shell. They are extremely soft and protect the ears from the cold without interfering with sound reception. They do not, however, provide protection against injuries that may occur in the event of an accident.
EPS inner shell
Under the outer, impact-resistant shell, there is an inner layer made of polystyrene. It has a varying density and its main function is to absorb the force of impact during an accident. It provides a good level of safety.
Integrated viewfinder
The construction with an integrated visor guarantees a well-fitting visor to the shape of the helmet. In addition, the lens has a much larger surface area than that used in goggles, which increases the field of vision and, thanks to the large space between the visor and the face, corrective goggles can be worn without difficulty.
In-mould construction
This construction mainly combines different types of in mould foam of different hardnesses. These layers are closely linked to the outer layer of material, which is much harder. This construction makes the helmet extremely lightweight.
Adjustment of size by means of a dial
A classic adjustment system that allows the helmet to be precisely adjusted to the circumference of the head. Using the rotary knob, the helmet can be easily and quickly increased or decreased in several sizes. The correct fit of the helmet increases safety when riding.
MIPS®
Multidirectional Impact Protection System - A common impact protection system used in helmets. Its purpose is to protect against the rotational movement that occurs during a severe impact. MIPS absorbs the first shock, minimising the risk of brain damage.
Hardshell
Special helmet shell moulding technology applied to EPS foam. Guarantees high resistance to external impacts and absorbs shocks.
Fidlock®
Magnetic locking systems, characterised by simplicity of use and durability. Modular technology provides the user with a multitude of fastening options.
TRM
TRM is the technology used in Alpina helmets. It is an innovative mechanism that allows the visor to be adjusted from the upper to the lower position. In the lower position, a linear movement allows the visor to be moved closer to the wearer's eyes. This allows the helmet to be precisely adjusted to the head, guaranteeing optimum fit and comfort.
Airstream Control
The Airstream Control technology used in Alpina helmets makes it possible to regulate the airflow by means of vents that can be opened and closed. This allows optimum adaptation to weather conditions and ensures that the ideal climate inside the helmet is maintained at all times.
Ergomatic
Ergomatic technology, used in Alpina helmets, is a proven buckle system featuring a red button and an automatic locking mechanism. Thanks to its one-handed operation, the strap can be easily adjusted to your needs while riding and the locking mechanism will not open automatically in the event of a fall.
Jet Vision
This technology is a viewfinder that is integrated and can be tilted and, thanks to Varioflex technology, adapts perfectly to dynamically changing light conditions.
Hi-EPS
Hi-EPS is an innovative technology used in Alpina helmets, whose microscopic air chambers effectively absorb the forces generated during impact. Thanks to the use of Hi-EPS, the helmets offer optimum protection while remaining slim and thin-walled for increased comfort.
Quattro Varioflex
Quattroflex Varioflex technology, used in Alpina helmets, is a synergy of two advanced solutions. Quattroflex is a lens technology with a polarising filter for high contrast. Varioflex, on the other hand, is a function that automatically darkens the glass in response to changes in light intensity.
Mirror
Mirror technology, as used in Alpina helmets, involves coating the lens with multiple reflective layers. This provides effective protection against intense glare and infrared radiation.
Run System Classic
The Run System Classic technology, used in Alpina helmets, allows the helmet to be precisely adjusted to the size of the head. Using a simple, easy-to-use dial, each wearer can adjust the helmet to their unique head shape.
Y-Clip
The Y-Clip technology in Alpina helmets allows the straps under the ear to be precisely adjusted to keep the helmet in the optimum position in the event of an impact.
EDGE PROTECT
This is an additional polycarbonate plate that gives Inmold helmets an elegant finish. It covers the edges on the underside of the helmet. This manufacturing process ensures that there are no sharp edges in Inmold helmets, reducing the risk of injury.
INMOLD
The Inmold helmet manufacturing process involves heating the outer polycarbonate layer of the helmet to a high temperature and then bonding it to the inner EPS layer by applying high pressure. The result is a permanent bond between the two layers, creating a helmet that is lightweight and extremely stable.
