POC SKULL DURA Junior Ski Helmet

A junior competition helmet designed for racing and training

The POC Skull Dura junior ski helmet is designed specifically for young racers who participate in competition and intensive training. Offered by POC, it features safety technologies typically reserved for adult racing helmets, adapted here to the needs of young athletes. Available in two sizes (51–54 and 55–58) and in an Olivine Green Matt/Thulite Pink Matt colorway, it is intended for children and teens who participate in alpine skiing—whether in competition or structured training. Its sturdy construction and official certifications make it a logical choice for families looking to properly equip their young skiers.

Construction and Protection: A Competition-Certified ABS/PC Shell

The POC Skull Dura Jr features an outer shell made of ABS and polycarbonate (PC), two complementary materials that combine rigidity with impact resistance. This “hardshell” construction ensures durability suited to the repeated stresses of training and racing. Inside, the multi-impact EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) liner absorbs successive impacts without losing its properties—a tangible benefit for young athletes who train frequently. The helmet is EN 1077 Class A certified—the most stringent class under this European standard for alpine ski helmets—and also meets the requirements of the FIS RH 2013 standard, making it eligible for official competitions organized by the International Ski Federation. Its weight of 680 g reflects the sturdiness of this performance-oriented construction.

Fit and Comfort: The Race Lock System Optimizes Racing Position

The fit of the POC Skull Dura junior ski helmet is based on the integrated Race Lock system, designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit without interfering with the racing position. This mechanism allows for customization of the helmet’s fit on the young athlete’s head, even in competition conditions where helmet stability is essential. The built-in ear chambers are designed to maintain balance and reduce noise interference without compromising the wearer’s hearing—a particularly important factor for safety and concentration on the slopes.

Compatibility and practicality: features designed for racing

The Skull Dura Jr features a fixed goggle clip to keep the goggles in place during runs. It is also compatible with the Maxilla Breakaway chin guard (sold separately), an accessory designed for facial protection during competition that meets the requirements for junior speed races. These features allow riders to adapt their gear to their skill level and the disciplines they practice without having to change helmets.

The POC Skull Dura junior ski helmet is designed for young competitors who ski on marked trails, whether in training or in official competition. Its dual certification, durable construction, and adjustment technologies make it a reliable choice to support a young athlete’s progress in a structured environment.
