POC Skull Dura Jr Ski Helmet
Skull Dura family · 26/27
Technology
Race Lock Fit
POC’s race fit system locks the helmet down so it stays put and tuck-safe when a junior racer is on a fast line.
EPP Multi-Impact Liner
An expanded polypropylene liner that can absorb repeated knocks rather than being spent after a single hit — useful for a helmet that brushes gates all season.
ABS + PC Hardshell
A hard ABS outer shell with a polycarbonate layer, built to shrug off direct gate strikes at race speed.
Ear Chambers
Shaped ear pockets that keep coverage without deadening the course-side sound a young racer needs to hear.
Features
- ·FIS RH 2013 homologated — legal for sanctioned junior racing
- ·EN 1077 Class A — fuller coverage and a higher energy standard than resort Class B lids
- ·Race Lock fit stays tuck-safe at speed
- ·Ear chambers for coverage without muffling
- ·Maxilla Breakaway chin bar compatible (sold separately) for slalom
- ·Two junior sizes, XS/S and M/L
The Skull Dura Jr is a genuine FIS race helmet for junior gate racers, not a resort lid dressed up. The build is a hard ABS-plus-PC outer shell over a multi-impact EPP liner, homologated to FIS RH 2013 and certified EN 1077 Class A — the fuller-coverage, higher-energy standard sanctioned racing requires, a clear step above the Class B helmets recreational skiers wear.
The one thing parents must understand: this helmet does not have MIPS. POC omits the rotational-management liner on this junior race platform, so if MIPS is a non-negotiable for your kid, this is not the helmet. What you do get is the Race Lock fit that keeps the helmet tuck-safe on a downhill line, ear chambers, and compatibility with the Maxilla Breakaway chin bar you’ll need for slalom — noting that chin bar sells separately.
Reach for it if your racer is in a program that needs FIS-legal gear. Skip it for recreational skiing: the stiff Class A hardshell is warmer and less vented than a soft resort helmet, has no MIPS, and weighs 680g in XS/S and 740g in M/L. Buy it for gates, not for free skiing.

- Yes. It carries FIS RH 2013 homologation and EN 1077 Class A certification, the level required for FIS-sanctioned racing.
- Does it come with a chin guard for slalom?
- No. The helmet is compatible with POC’s Maxilla Breakaway chin bar, but that chin bar is sold separately.
