Alpina Mythos Reflective

Not without reason is the Mythos the most purchased bike helmet from ALPINA. Its fit is indisputably perfect and its look always contemporary. That's exactly why it gets a facelift in 2017 without losing its original DNA and fit. The Reflective version protects especially in urban environments by increasing visibility in the dark.

A film on the lower shell of the helmet glows brightly when kissed by light. In low visibility brings better visibility and does not detract from the look of the Mythos at any second.

Its air vents get a modern shape and its tail is pulled slightly lower. Despite this extended head coverage, it is lighter than ever. Protecting against flies and other insects are the integrated fly nets on the front.

For the ideal protection of your head, the Mythos Reflective comes up with many technologies. A shatterproof shell, air chambers that absorb forces in eiem impact and a thermally connected construction of the helmet let you in no fall in the lurch. At the same time, the comfort is not too short. Through the Run System, the size of the helmet is individually adjustpar and the Y-clip guarantees that the helmet always sits in the right place.

Technologies

AIR FLOW VENTING
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy on constantly improving the ventilation of our cycling helmets. By wind tunnel tested arrangement of the vents, our engineers create a "Venturi" effect inside the helmet, which cools the head, leads to less sweat and higher performance.

FLY NET
The front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric. This performs the same function as an insect screen, preventing insect bites on the scalp during hot and humid riding periods and locations.

CERAMIC SHELL
All Inmold-manufactured helmets from Alpina, receive this shatter and scratch resistant polycarbonate shell. The blank is stretched under high heat to the shape of the later helmet and pressed with high pressure on its Hi-EPS body. The material is characterized by several qualities at the same time: It is break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable as well as antistatic.

CUSTOM FIT
Different head shapes require a flexible fitting system. In combination with the Run System, Custom Fit ensures a non-slip fit. The neckband at the back of the head can be tilted in several stages and grips the head gently without pressure points.

EDGE PROTECT
Edge Protect is a processing method that ensures Inmold helmets have no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of injury in two ways: on the one hand, it protects the hands when handling the helmet, and on the other hand, in the event of an impact, the neck and shoulder area remain protected from scratches when in contact with the lower edge of the helmet.

ERGOMATIC
Proven hundreds of thousands of times and used in all Alpina bicycle helmets: the well-known belt buckle with red push button and multi-stage automatic detent. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand - you can loosen the strap uphill, tighten it downhill - and cannot open itself in the event of a fall.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS ("High Expanded Polystyrene"). It consists of microscopic air chambers, which optimally absorb the forces acting during an impact. Despite optimum protection, HI-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes.

INMOLD
In the Inmold production process, the helmet upper shell made of polycarbonate is "baked" together with the EPS granulate of the helmet body under high heat and strong pressure. This creates an extensive and inseparable bond between the upper and lower shells. Advantage: The helmet is very light and at the same time extremely stable.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO PRO
The top model of the new Alpina fitting systems for the back of the head has two large "headrests" to the left and right of the central, newly designed rotating wheel. Both these two wing-shaped pads and the adjustment wheel itself are made of a two-component mix consisting of plastic and rubber. Since 2014, the Run System Ergo Pro has been available in colors to match the helmet.

SHIELD PROTECT
The removable shield protects against both splashing dirt and direct sunlight.

Y-CLIP
A helmet can only protect as well as it remains in the optimum position on impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a crucial role here. Alpina's "Y-Clip" system guarantees a millimeter-precise adjustment - in seconds.
