Alpina Garbanzo Helmet - white-grey

Outstanding ventilation, large head cover, low weight

Anyone who likes trails will love the Garbanzo. The enduro helmet was specially developed for use on rough country terrain. A prominent feature is its flat polycarbonate cover to provide the best possible protection for the top of the head, and the visually integrated shield.

Features of the Garbanzo

• Inmold Tec: Inmold helmets are made by fusing the inner shell underneath the outer shell at high pressure. The two shells are bonded, making Inmold helmets extremely stable and very light.
• Hi-EPS: All Inmold helmets have inner shells made of Hi-EPS (highly expanded polystyrene). This material consists of many microscopically small air chambers which effectively absorb the forces caused by an impact. In addition, Hi-EPS does not absorb water or sweat.
• Ceramic Shell: This is the outer shell of all Alpina helmets manufactured using the Inmold process. This lightweight material is extremely impact- and scratch-resistant, it contains UV stabilisers and is anti-static.
• Edge Protect: It is applied to the bottom edges of the helmet using Inmold technology, greatly enhancing safety in the event of a side impact and providing protection against damage in everyday use.
• Run System Ergo Pro: The adjustment system features two large «head rests» and an adjustment wheel, all made of a twin-component mix of plastic and rubber.
• Ergomatic: Ergomatic is a non-twist adjustment mechanism with several settings selectable one-handed. It cannot come open in case of a crash.
• Custom Fit System: The angle of the neck support can be adjusted produce a perfect fit at the rear of the head.
• Y-Clip: The Y-Clip connects the front and rear straps beneath the ear. Fine adjustments are quick and extremely easy to make.
• Fly Net: For protection against insect bites the front vents of some models are fitted with a mesh lining.
• Shield Protect: The detachable shield provides protection against dirt splash as well as direct sunlight.
• Antibacterial Interior: Pads are made of a special material to reduce the build-up of bacteria and prevent odour caused by sweat.

Air is directed into the helmet’s interior and along through channels in the Hi-EPS on the head for optimum ventilation. The Garbanzo’s low weight is due to the inmold production where the upper shell is thermally connected with the Hi-EPS. This results in a solid surface connection, which is responsible for a very sturdy design.

Fly screens keep insects away from the head, and the large shield guarantees optimum protection in the field of vision. The back and temple areas pull further down for optimal safety off-road. This creates even greater head coverage.

The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the additional polycarbonate shell Edge Protect. With the Run System Ergo Pro, which can be combined with the height-adjustable Custom Fit, the helmet can be perfectly adjusted to your head.

Another plus for comfort: the removable anti-bacterial cushioning. It makes the helmet pleasant and comfortable to wear at all times – no matter how hot it gets on country trails.
