Pret Helmets Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Pret kids' helmets fit and what sizes should I choose?

  Pret's Ripcord360 Fit offers full‑wrap adjustment to adapt to every head shape and eliminate pressure points, and the quick‑release dial lets you change size instantly. Size ranges are XS 47–51 cm, S 51–55 cm, M 55–59 cm, L 59–62 cm, and XL 62–65 cm — choose the size nearest your child's measured head circumference with room for a thin beanie.
• What's the difference between the Moxie, Moxie X, Fury X, and Ripper X?

  All four models share Pret's ACT in‑mold multi‑shell construction, EPS foam tuned by impact zone, and MIPS C2 for rotational protection, but they vary in ventilation and features. The Moxie X is exceptionally lightweight (about 13.8 oz) with Level 1 always‑open vents, the Fury X adds Level C adjustable venting with a single lever for on‑the‑fly control, and the Ripper X emphasizes rugged styling and practical details like removable ear covers.
• How do Pret's MIPS C2 and ACT construction protect against impacts?

  MIPS C2 provides a low‑friction slip plane that helps reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts, while ACT's overlapping polycarbonate shells and EPS foam are engineered to optimize protection in the zones most likely to receive impact. Together they deliver a lightweight helmet with zone‑specific energy management suited to kids' falls and collisions.
• Which Pret kids' helmet is best for different skill levels and snow conditions?

  For beginners and kids who ski warm on groomers, models with Level 1 always‑open vents like the Moxie and Moxie X provide consistent airflow and simplicity; riders who need adaptable airflow in changing conditions may prefer the Fury X with Level C venting. Since all models meet ASTM F2040 / CE EN1077B standards and include MIPS C2, choose primarily by fit, ventilation preference, weight, and whether you want features like removable ear covers or audio readiness.
• How should I clean and store a Pret kids' helmet to keep protection and hygiene intact?

  Clean the shell and liner with mild soap and water only, avoid solvents or ammonia‑based cleaners that can degrade EPS or liner materials, and let the helmet dry fully before storage. Store helmets in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight (use the provided helmet bag if available) and follow care instructions for removable liners to preserve HALEO antimicrobial and IONIC+ odor‑control performance.
