The POC Jr Race Shorts bring the same over-the-suit warm-up layer to young alpine racers. Made from a durable stretch fabric with full-length leg zippers, they're easy for kids to manage even in ski boots. For junior racers, that means less fumbling in the start area and more focus on the course.

Why we like it:

Full-length leg zippers make these easy for kids to pull on and off without wrestling out of their boots, a small thing that saves a lot of start-line stress. The stretch fabric moves with them as they warm up.

Features and Functions:

A stretchy, durable fabric stands up to the repeated on-off cycles of race day while flexing with a young skier's movement. Full-length zippers on each leg let kids get them over ski boots without help, and the pull tabs work with gloves on. The cut is shaped for a race position so nothing binds when they drop into a tuck.

Fit and Sizing:

Cut to fit over a speed suit and base layer, they run roomy in junior sizing. The race-shaped cut leaves room to move in a tuck. Sizes span the junior range.

Bottom Line:

These are a start-area convenience layer for junior racers, best for keeping warm-ups quick and fuss-free. They earn their keep in the minutes before a run, not on the run itself. A practical piece for any young racer's bag.
