Hard shell...

In its new helmet, Alpina relies on carbon for maximum protection. Carbon fiber plates are incorporated into the outer shell of the helmet, making the Rootage more resistant and lighter. The edges of the helmet are finished with Edge Protect, a ceramic shell, for additional protection. Polycarbonate inserts reinforce the large ventilation openings, which, together with internal channels, provide the rider's head with the best possible supply of fresh air.

... super-soft core

Parallel to the extremely hard outer shell, the Rootage offers a super-soft core. The antibacterial and washable padding is made of Coolmax material and hugs the rider's head. In addition to the usual good fit of Alpina helmets, the product developers and designers of the traditional Bavarian company present another innovation: the Run System Ergo Flex. The adjustment system impresses with its filigree design and fixes the helmet evenly to the head over a 360 degree circumference. A helmet could not be adjusted more individually, smoothly and comfortably.

With goggle

To ensure that your eyes are optimally protected on the trails, good goggles are essential. - and the Alpina Rootage is of course also designed for goggles: If you don't need the goggles, they can be slid under the large shield. The strap is secured around the helmet so that the goggles cannot slip out of place. If you want mirrored, self-tinting goggles with polarized lenses and a cool look, the new Twist Five QVM+ is a good choice.

And speaking of eyewear: with the Twist Five eyewear collection mentioned above, Alpine has a few hot optical irons in the fire for the coming season. Alpina says in a press release about the Twist Five series: "They fit every face, they protect against sun, flies and dirt. It's the right one. The Twist series from Alpina has always had the knack of protecting and protecting and protecting - for 13 years now. One of the best-selling sports glasses on the market is entering a new generation: the "Twist Five".

More striking design

The Twist Five sports eyewear family combines four different model variants - for every area of use, for every taste, for every face. The focus of Alpina's further development was on a more striking design, an optimization of the adjustment options and a wider range of lens technologies. And everything has been successful. The Twist Five is available as a full frame version, with a shield and with a half frame in a normal width as well as a narrow version.

For the first time, the high-end QuattroVarioflex lens technology is being introduced in some Twist models. The polarized lenses enhance contrasts and filter out distracting reflections. At the same time, the tint automatically adjusts to the prevailing light conditions. Visibility is simply always ideal and UV protection is 100 percent at all times. In combination with the Fogstop (anti-fogging) and Hydrophobic (beading effect) coatings, the result is the perfect lens - for any weather, for any sport. The Twist Five and Twist Five HR models are available with this lens. Each Twist Five model is available with a self-tinting Varioflex lens as well as a mirrored lens, cool look included.
