The Skull X White offers great protection in a package that provides great comfort for those long days on the mountain. The Multi Impact EPP Core will provide protection after repetitive shocks from gates and other impacts. The Skull X also has vents on the forehead and near the ears. POC has designed these vents to provide great air flow and to be penetration proof. Vents typically take away from the integrity of a helmet, but these vents still allow the helmet to provide tons of protection. The Skull X is a great helmet for Junior Racers and anyone looking for great colors and lots of protection. Add the Iris Comp goggle days in the race course and the Iris X for free ski days.
