Grand. In German: großartig. The ALPINA GRAND makes a statement with its name: “Hey look, it’s me. I am new, modern, comfortable, good, simply grand.” The unique design of the GRAND is based on safe construction without compromises, and the helmet’s high level of comfort makes the GRAND the perfect all-mountain ski helmet. An infinitely height-adjustable run system for optimal adjustment, Airstream Control for regulating the air supply and a removable and washable interior are other features that every skier will love. In the event of impact, the Ceramic Shell combined with Hi-EPS provides protection. Production using the inmold method makes the GRAND safe and sturdy yet lightweight.
• Perfect climate on your head due to adjustable air openings
• Durable outer shell thanks to the 3 shell construction
• The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the polycarbonate shell Edge Protect
• Easy-to-operate belt buckle with a twist-proof, multi-step automatic buckle
• Optimal shock absorption due to small air chambers
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Proven a hundred thousand times over and used on all Alpina helmets: the strap buckle with the red push button and multi-step automatic locking mechanism. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand - you can loosen the strap on the way up the mountain and tighten it for downhill - and in a fall the locking mechanism cannot open automatically.
• 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.
• 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.
• Helmets with a permanently integrated visor. The visors range from Singleflex and Doubleflex to Quattro and Varioflex. The large interior volume behind the draught-free visor makes these helmets perfect for spectacle wearers.
• The Run System enables all Alpina helmets to adjust to a custom size by using an easy-to-move dial. The Run System Classic scores points for its price/performance ratio. It is a simple and sturdy wheel that holds the helmet securely in place where it belongs: on the head.
• 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 fixing of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role. The Y-clip system ensures a millimetre-accurate adjustment - in a matter of seconds.
