Alpina Hackney Kids Bike Helmet - blue gloss

Alpina HACKNEY - A helmet with a face

It has a friendly wink with the front ventilation inlets and yet is cheeky enough to appeal to the cool kids. But more importantly, the Alpina Hack ney protects youngsters on all their adventures. The stable Inmold construction and Hi-EPS provide cushioning properties in the event of an impact. A guardian angel, which is shaped through the upper helmet openings, is also always on board. It is also to be understood with a wink, but is also a symbol with a clear message: Alpina wants to protect you. Always. Everywhere. The ventilation inlets of the Alpina Hackney not only form a face and a guardian angel, but are also primarily responsible for optimum ventilation. Comfort is also ensured by the height-adjustable Run-System. This makes adjustment child's play and ensures maximum comfort. As an option, a Plug-In-Light can be integrated into the rear of the bike helmet to ensure that kids are seen by other road users at an early stage, even in poor visibility and in the dark. Visibility brings safety. That's why the Alpina Hackney is also available in a neon yellow „be visible“ version.

Features of the Alpina Hackney children's helmet:

• Robust & impact-resistant Inmold construction
• Easy-to-use, anti-twist buckle with multi-stage automatic latching mechanism
• Individual helmet fit thanks to a tiltable adjustment system at the back of the head
• Comfortably adjustable straps on the ears
• Lighting can be retrofitted with optional inmold construction and the Hi-EPS Light

Technologies

AIRFLOW VENTING

One factor that has a major influence on wearing comfort is the ventilation of the helmet. The strategically sensible arrangement of the ventilation openings is crucial for optimum ventilation of the interior. The air is directed into the interior, where it is guided along the head and can flow out again at the rear. The head is therefore always pleasantly air-conditioned.

CERAMIC SHELL

All Alpina helmets manufactured using the inmold process have a robust ceramic shell. In this process, a polycarbonate plate is stretched under high heat to the shape of the future helmet 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 break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic.

CUSTOM FIT

Costum Fit is an adjustment system at the back of the head that can be used to adjust the height of the Run System in several stages. This allows the optimum fit of the helmet to be adjusted for a wide variety of head shapes. Pressure points are a thing of the past, the helmet fits perfectly and safety is increased.

ERGOMATIC

Tried and tested hundreds of thousands of times and used on all Alpina helmets: the buckle with the red push button and multi-stage automatic latching mechanism. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand - uphill you can loosen the strap, downhill you can tighten it - and in the event of a fall it is not possible for the locking mechanism to open by itself.

HARDSHELL

Hardshell-Helmets consist of a Hi-EPS core and an impact-resistant outer shell made of ABS or polycarbonate. This combination ensures maximum safety.

HI-EPS

The inner shell of all Alpina helmets is made of Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrol). The material has microscopically small air chambers which absorb the forces acting on the helmet in the event of an impact. Hi-EPS ensures optimum protection and at the same time enables extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes.

INMOLD

In the Inmold production process, the polycarbonate upper shell of the helmet is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS inner shell of the helmet body under high heat and pressure. This creates a large and inseparable bond between the upper and lower shells. Advantage: The helmet is very light and extremely stable at the same time.

Y-Clip

A helmet can only provide the best possible protection if it remains in the optimum position in the event of an impact. The adjustment and fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role in this. The Y-clip system guarantees millimeter-precise adjustment - in a matter of seconds.
