Alpina Grand Lavalan Ski Helmet Moon/Grey Matt M Ski Helmet

Grand. In German: großartig.

The Alpina Grand lavalan makes a statement with its name: ''Hey look, it’s me. I’m new, modern, comfortable, good, simply grand.'' ALPINA is confident in both the GRAND and the characteristics of lavalan sheep’s wool, so it just makes sense to combine the two. The inner lining and the neck warmer that stretches up over the neck and ears as a complete unit are both covered with soft lavalan. For natural warmth, a comfortable climate and sustainable style. An infinitely height-adjustable run system for optimal adjustment and Airstream Control for regulating the air supply 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.

• Adjustable ventilation openings allow for optimal air conditioning
• Extra robust and resilient 3-shell outer shell
• Reinforced lower edges ensure longevity and protection
• Optimal shock absorption due to microscopic air chambers
• Lightweight thanks to Inmold

Technologies

• Airstream Control: 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.
• Ceramic Shell: 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: 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.
• Ergomatic: 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.
• 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 provides optimum protection and at the same time allows for extra-thin helmet wall as well as narrow helmet shapes.
• Inmold: 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.
• lavalan: lavalan is a washable insulation material made of sheep wool, used as a padding in ALPINA ski helmets to provide extra comfort. The sustainably obtained lavalan wool has both insulating and temperature-regulating properties, is breathable and prevents unpleasant sweat odours from forming thanks to the wool’s natural moisture management and the self-cleaning function of the wool fibres. European wool is exclusively used for production, the short production routes for which allow us to monitor animal welfare.
• Run System Classic: 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.
• 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 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.
