1 / 13POC Skull Dura Jr Ski Helmet
Sold Out
Description
The POC Skull Dura Jr is a junior alpine race helmet for kids running gates. It’s homologated to FIS RH 2013 and certified EN 1077 Class A — the level sanctioned racing demands. A hard ABS and PC shell sits over a multi-impact EPP liner. The Race Lock fit stays tuck-safe at speed.
One thing parents should know up front: this junior platform has no MIPS. The Maxilla chin bar for slalom fits, but sells separately. See our review below for how it’s built and who it’s really for.

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.
