VIZZARD Q-LITE, Ski helmet

Edge Protect is an additional polycarbonate plate that give inmold helmets a touch of refinement. It covers the edges on the underside of the helmet. This protects the Hi-EPS and increases the helmet's durability.

The FIDLOCK helmet buckle can be closed securely even with one hand. The self-activating, magnetic locking mechanism is thus very convenient when putting on and taking off the helmet. The one-handed operation is quick and intuitive, without the risk of pinching skin. The FIDLOCK fastener is even easy to use when wearing gloves. The fastener securely prevents the helmet from being knocked off your head when the straps are correctly adjusted.

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.

MIPS is a system that provides protection against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in an impact. The low-friction insert allows it to glide smoothly 10-15 mm in any direction, thus reducing the rotational movement in the event of a fall. This gives MIPS extra protection.

Seeing contrast with clarity is a basic feature of sports goggles for ALPINA. This is why we developed the contrast-enhancing Q-Lite technology, which makes contrasts more visible on the trail and the road, helps colours appear richer and provides sharper vision. This allows the eyes to remain focussed for longer so that they are less strained and perform better in crucial moments.

The “translatory-rotatory-mechanism” (TRM) seals the visor particularly close to the face. The mechanism allows the visor to rotate from the upper to the lower position. In the lower position, a linear movement (translation) ensures that the visor can be moved towards the eyes. This creates a compact fit of the helmet on the head.
