The POC Skull Dura Jr Helmet is a perfect choice for young ski racers. Ski racing is, unfortunately, a relatively dangerous sport, and it's important to have the right safety gear, especially an appropriate helmet. This junior helmet provides the same safety technologies found in adult helmets. To start, and perhaps most importantly for a helmet like this, it’s received the FIS certification for racing, so can be used in FIS-sanctioned events. It utilizes a multi-impact EPP liner, which is a great feature for a helmet that’s bound to take some impacts from gates. It also features an outer shell that’s dent resistant and impressively durable. Special chambers around the ears not only allows for better hearing, it also retains an athlete’s balance, which is, of course, endlessly important for a sport like ski racing.
