Kids Helmets

About

Kids helmets are the most important piece of safety gear a young rider owns. This range covers LS2, Nitro, Shot, Thor and Leatt in off-road, full-face and road styles, sized down for smaller heads. Correct fit and a certified shell come first, so check the sizing notes below before you buy. How to choose a kids motorcycle helmet Fit decides everything on a youth helmet. Measure around the head about 25mm above the eyebrows, then match that figure to the brand size chart rather than guessing by age. A correct helmet sits snug with no front-to-back rocking and zero pressure points after 20 minutes of wear. Replace any helmet after a crash impact or every 5 years from the manufacture date stamped inside.

Off-road lids favour a longer chin bar and a peak that vents goggle airflow, while full-face shells give 100% face coverage for sealed road use. Look for a double-D or micrometric retention strap and EPS liner thickness of at least 20mm. Youth shells use lighter polycarbonate to reduce neck load, with most weighing between 1000g and 1400g. Sizes typically run from 47cm up to 56cm, so a 4-year-old and a 12-year-old need very different shells. Multiple vents keep airflow up over 30-minute rides. A removable washable liner extends helmet life and keeps it fresh across a full season. How helmets pair with rated apparel A certified helmet works best alongside abrasion-rated kit. Youth jackets and pants follow the EN 17092 standard, rated AAA for the highest abrasion resistance, AA for mid-tier, and A for lighter summer wear. Impact zones add CE armour, where CE Level 1 covers the baseline impact threshold and CE Level 2 absorbs roughly 50% less force
