Product Information

Full details

The Giro Scamp II Helmet is designed for young children (ages 1 and up) seeking dependable protection for their adventures. Its key benefit is the combination of a durable in-mold polycarbonate shell with an impact-absorbing EPS liner, offering robust safety in a lightweight package. A potential consideration is the specific sizing, which requires careful measurement to ensure an optimal fit for your child's growth.

FAQs

What age is the Giro Scamp II Helmet suitable for?

The XS size is designed for children aged 1 year and older (head circumference 45-49cm), and the S size is for children aged 5 years and older (head circumference 49-53cm).

How do I clean the helmet?

You can clean the helmet with a soft cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can this helmet be used for activities other than cycling?

The Giro Scamp II Helmet is specifically designed and certified for bicycle use. It is not recommended for other sports or activities.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Measure your child's head circumference and compare it to the size guide. Ensure the helmet sits level on the head, covers the forehead, and is secured snugly with the Roc Loc® Jr. dial and straps.

What does 'In-Mould' construction mean?

In-Mould construction means the helmet's outer shell is permanently fused to the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner during the manufacturing process. This creates a strong, durable, and lightweight helmet.

How often should I replace the helmet?

Helmets should be replaced after any significant impact or crash. It's also recommended to replace them every 3-5 years due to material degradation over time, even without visible damage.

Are the reflective decals effective in all conditions?

The reflective decals are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or when artificial lighting is present. They are most effective when illuminated by a light source.

Troubleshooting

Helmet won't stay snug on the child's head.

Ensure the Roc Loc® Jr. dial is fully loosened before placing the helmet on the head. Then, tighten the dial gradually until a snug fit is achieved. Check that the side straps are properly adjusted below the ears.

Child complains the helmet is uncomfortable.

Verify the helmet is level on the head and not tilted too far forward or back. Ensure the Roc Loc® Jr. system is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check strap positioning below the ears for comfort.

Straps seem too long or too short.

Adjust the sliders on the side straps to create a 'Y' shape below the ears. The chin strap should then be adjusted to the correct length. If straps are consistently too long or short for a proper fit, consider if the helmet size is appropriate for the child's head circumference.

Helmet appears damaged after a minor fall.

Even if damage is not immediately visible, the helmet's ability to protect may be compromised. It is recommended to replace the helmet after any significant impact or fall to ensure continued safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Place the helmet on your child's head. Ensure it sits level, covering the forehead. Use the Roc Loc® Jr. dial at the back to tighten the fit until it is snug but not uncomfortable. The helmet should not rock excessively forward, backward, or side-to-side.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the side straps so they form a 'Y' shape just below each ear. The chin strap should be snug enough that only one or two fingers can fit between the strap and the child's chin.

Compatibility:

  • The Giro Scamp II Helmet is designed for use with bicycles and is certified to meet the US CPSC Safety Standard for bicycle helmets for children aged 1 year and older (XS size) or 5 years and older (S size).
  • It is compatible with most child bicycle seats and trailers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on it.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed straps. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
