Helmets are independently tested across a range of performance criteria, including how effectively the helmet absorbs and reduces impact force, how securely the retention system holds the helmet in place during an impact, and overall stability of fit to ensure they meet defined safety requirements. EN 1077 Class B is the standard classification under the European certification for alpine ski and snowboard helmets. Class B helmets are tested for impact absorption and retention system performance, making them suited to recreational snow sports use)

Size & Fit

The right kids ski helmet size comes from your child's head circumference, not their age, always measure before you buy.

Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of the head, about an inch above the eyebrows
POCito Obex Mips runs in three sizes: XXS-XS (48-52cm), XS-S (51-54cm), M-L (55-58cm)
A well-fitted ski and snowboard helmet should sit level with no more than one finger-width of gap at the forehead
Re-check sizing each season, keep in mind that a children's head circumference can shift a full size year to year
