Kids’ Ski Helmet

red dot award: product design 2008

The design of the POCito Skull children’s ski helmet is based on the adult Skull helmet but has been modified to be particularly suitable for children. Adult helmets protect the wearer against accidents at the kind of high speeds that children cannot usually reach, so the child’s version has a softer lining to provide better shock absorption and protection against impact at lower speeds. The POCito is continuously adjustable so that the helmet can grow with the child. The back of the goggle fixture has a panel to write down the parents’ contact information along with any relevant medical information. The fluorescent orange helmet is equipped with a Recco avalanche rescue reflector underneath its hard shell and reflective stickers on the outside to ensure high visibility in all weather conditions. The ergonomically and aesthetically designed helmet comes together with a detachable LED lamp and an orange race number. The helmet is adjustable in size from 51 to 54 cm.
