Jury Verdict

The CARAPX is the latest offering in the enduro and trail line-up from the German helmet & glasses specialist, Alpina. The striking helmet impressed the jury with its low weight, overall well thought-out product design, and comfortable fit. The Carapax has a deeper shape than most conventional helmets and so covers a bigger area of your head. The big air vents keep your head cool, both whilst riding and stationary, and net inserts prevent any unwanted bugs from getting into the helmet. In order to protect the EPS foam core the corners are protected with a layer of plastic. All this is offered for a wallet friendly € 119.95.
