The adjustment dial is key to keeping your child’s helmet secure. The dial allows for easy and precise adjustments, even with gloves on. It also provides maximum comfort and safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.

The helmet has an injection-moulded, ABS outer shell to withstand powerful impacts. High resistance to bumps and knocks. The internal Epos skullcap absorbs impact during collisions. We recommend changing your kid's ski helmet at least every 5 years unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime.

ABS structure

The European standard EN 1077:2007 applies to helmets used for cranial protection during downhill skiing and snowboarding. The standards test the helmet’s ability to absorb shocks and resist perforation. The two categories are:
- Class A: Protects the top and back of the head as well as the ears and side of the head.
- Class B: Protects the top and back of the head but does not cover the ears.

EN 1077 standard

Measure your head circumference (from the middle of the forehead and above the ears) and choose the right size. When trying it on, there should be no discomfort. If it has no visor, try the helmet with the mask: there should be no gap between the two.

How do you choose the right size?

For your kid’s safety, your ski helmet must be properly adjusted:
- The head size can be adjusted using the tightening wheel.
- The chinstrap must be properly adjusted. They must be able to fit 2 fingers between the strap and their skin. If fitted incorrectly, the helmet will offer less protection.

Adjust your helmet once you have the right size

We recommend changing your ski helmet every 5 years, unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime. In case of severe impact, you need to change the helmet: even if you can’t see it, the inner material may be damaged and your helmet will offer less protection.

When to change your ski helmet?

Avoid wearing a hat, as this will create a gap between your head and your helmet and reduce your protection. If necessary, choose a very thin balaclava designed for this purpose. 
Avoid putting a camera on the helmet, as this will compromise your safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.

A helmet keeps you warm: you don't need to wear a hat underneath – in fact, it’s best not to
