The Alpha SV by Pilot is a full-face helmet that protects the entire head and jaw. For this reason, this type of helmet is considered the safest and most durable for both travel and city rides. It is made from thermoplastic, a hard material that is heavier compared to other materials. The helmet features the new European safety standard certification "ECE 22.06," which ensures that the helmet is tested at 18 impact control points instead of the previous 6. It is pinlock ready, meaning there is the option to add an additional accessory to the visor that helps prevent fogging during the winter months. The anti-fog film is not included in the package.
