ALPINA Gems - Hybrid Lavalan® - Ski/Snowboard Helmet - Burned Yellow Black matt

The name Gems refers to a precious stone. The ALPINA GEMS is our freeride jewel: unique, lightweight and valuable – a gem for the head. A particularly striking feature of the GEMS is the scattered hole pattern structure that allows for ventilation across the entire surface. This feature will come in handy for every freerider during a sweaty climb or in sunny mountain weather. Naturally the active venting can also be operated with gloves on. For extra protection in the backcountry, the helmet has a low cover around the back of the head and a hybrid shell structure, which also distributes the forces exerted by objects striking the helmet.

DETAILS
Best for : ski - Snowboard - snowsports.
Gender :  Men's
Construction : Hybrid Tec combines the advantages of Inmold and Hardshell. The lower part of the helmet consists of a light and well-cushione Inmold shell, whereas in the upper part a very robust hard shell encases the Hi-EPS. Another advantage: The hardshell upper shell of the hybrid construction leaves more room for air vents and ducts. As a result, hybrid helmets score with one of the best aeration and ventilation systems on the market, in addition to their safety plus features.
In-mold - In the inmould production process, the polycarbonate upper shell is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS inner shell of the helmet body under intense heat and pressure. This creates a large and inseparable connection between the upper and lower shell. Advantage: The helmet is very light and at the same time extremely stable.
Hi-EPS - The inner shell of all Alpina helmets is made of Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene). The material has microscopically small air chambers that absorb the forces acting on the helmet in the event of an impact. Hi-EPS provides optimum protection and at the same time allows for extra-thin helmet wall as well as narrow helmet shapes.
Ceramic shell : All Alpina helmets manufactured using the inmold process are fitted with a robust ceramic shell. A polycarbonate plate is stretched under intense heat onto the shape of the helmet in the making and pressed onto the Hi-EPS body under high pressure and thermally bonded to it. The Ceramic shell is characterized by several qualities: It is impact- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic.
Certification :    ASTM F2040 – (EN1077:2007).
Ventilation :  Yes
Venting adjustable : Airstream Control - Air vents at the top of the helmet can be opened and closed using the Airstream Control mechanism. The air flow can thus be regulated and adapted to the weather conditions. This ensures perfect air conditioning inside the helmet at all times.        
Insulation: Lavalan® is a washable insulation material made of sheep wool, used as a padding in ALPINA ski helmets to provide extra comfort. The sustainably obtained lavalan® wool has both insulating and temperature-regulating properties, is breathable and prevents unpleasant sweat odours from forming thanks to the wool’s natural moisture management and the self-cleaning function of the wool fibres. European wool is exclusively used for production, the short production routes for which allow us to monitor animal welfare.                               
Head Phones (MP3-IPOD-Mobile):   No
Goggle clip :   Yes.
Interior removable :   Yes
Earpads Removable : Yes EARPADS REMOVABLE
Fit adjustable :  Yes Run System Ergo Snow - The Run System enables all Alpina helmets to adjust to a custom size by using an easy-to-move dial. Alpina relies on the tried-and-tested Run System Classic for its ski helmets, a flexible head adjustment system with a central dial. A twist mechanism allows the headband to be adjusted more loosely or more tightly. The large dial is equipped with a non-slip two-component mix and can be operated perfectly with ski gloves.
3D-Fit System - The height of the Run-System at the back of the head can be adjusted using the 3D-Fit System. The helmet can be perfectly adapted to the head in a five-point gradation system. This improves comfort when wearing, safety and accuracy of fit.
Weight in  grams :  474 grams
Features : Deep neck warmer - Highly comfortable and pleasant climate due to long neck warmer made of soft microfleece
Edge Protect - The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the polycarbonate shell Edge Protect
