FAQs

What certifications does the POCITO SKULL helmet have?

The helmet is certified according to EN 1077-B and ASTM 2040 standards, ensuring it meets rigorous safety requirements for ski and snowboard helmets.

Can I use this helmet for activities other than skiing?

While primarily designed and certified for skiing and snowboarding, its protective features offer general head protection. However, for other specific sports, it's always best to use gear certified for that activity.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

Measure your child's head circumference and compare it to the helmet's size chart. Use the turn-ring adjustment system to fine-tune the fit for a snug and secure feel.

Is the LED light rechargeable?

The included LED light typically uses standard replaceable batteries. Please refer to the light's specific instructions for battery type and replacement.

What is the purpose of the Aramid Penetration Barrier?

The Aramid Penetration Barrier adds an extra layer of protection against sharp objects, reinforcing the helmet's ability to withstand penetration impacts.

How often should I replace my child's helmet?

Helmets should generally be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible. Materials can degrade over time.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the turn-ring system at the back of the helmet. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure it sits level on the head.

Lining is dirty or smells.

Remove the LD foam lining and hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the helmet.

LED light is not working.

Check the batteries in the LED light and replace them if necessary. Ensure the light is properly connected to the helmet.

Helmet seems difficult to adjust.

Ensure the turn-ring system is clean and free of debris. Gently work the dial back and forth to loosen it before attempting to adjust the size.
