Alpina Root MIPS Helmet - black matt

The Jet helmet is at home on the trails - and has arrived there as the golden mean

Comfortable and well ventilated uphill, safe and fast downhill. The Root MIPS is also equipped with a MIPS layer, which is designed to help reduce rotational forces acting on the head in the event of an angled impact. This makes the Root MIPS a good choice on any terrain. Whether on the trail, freeriding or a relaxed enduro ride. The helmet construction, which is pulled over the ears, offers significantly more safety than a half-shell helmet, especially in the event of side impacts. In addition, the EPP used on the ears, a Multi Density material that does not lose its protective effect even after repeated impacts, is used at the rear of the helmet. The fixed shield directs the air into the large ventilation channels of the Root MIPS and thus cools the head. The Root MIPS has a height-adjustable fitting system to adjust the helmet perfectly to your head. It is also possible to wear a neck brace. Protection, comfort and flow are guaranteed with the Root MIPS.

Features of the Alpina Root MIPS helmet:

• Jet helmet with MIPS designed to reduce rotational forces in the event of accidents with angled impacts
• Optimum impact absorption thanks to Hi-EPS and EPP material
• Low weight thanks to inmold production, in which the upper shell is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS
• Individually adjustable for maximum comfort thanks to the height-adjustable headrest Run System Ergo Flex
• Fits the neck support

Technologies

3D-FIT

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 adjusted to the head in five stages. This increases wearing comfort, safety and accuracy of fit.

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.

EDGE PROTECT

Edge Protect is an additional polycarbonate plate that enhances Inmold helmets. It covers the edges on the underside of the helmet. This protects the Hi-EPS and increases the durability of the helmet.

EPP

EPP is a multi-density material that does not lose its protective effect even after repeated impacts. Expanded polypropylene (EPP) makes a helmet even more robust and durable. EPP is used in helmets such as the ALPINA ROOTAGE EVO at strategic points, such as the ears and neck area, to ensure optimum safety.

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 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.

MIPS

MIPS is a system that protects against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in the event of an impact. The low-friction insert enables a sliding movement of 10-15 mm in all directions and thus reduces the rotational movement in the event of a fall. MIPS thus offers additional protection.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX MIPS

The first fitting system with integrated MIPS. The RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX MIPS offers individual, height-adjustable adjustment of the helmet. This combination not only increases comfort, but also ensures additional safety in the event of impacts with rotational forces.
