REKD Junior Ultralite In-Mold Helmet - Black, XXS/XS Size (49-52cm Head Circumference)
Give young riders the confidence to elevate their skills at the skatepark or on the street with the REKD Junior Ultralite Helmet. Specially engineered to accommodate the smaller skull anatomy of younger athletes, this high-performance helmet is a flagship offering at the very top of REKD Protection’s product line. By eliminating the heavy, restrictive feel typical of traditional hardshell junior helmets, the Junior Ultralite prevents neck fatigue and keeps up-and-coming shredders comfortable, agile, and safe. It is an indispensable piece of protective equipment for parents and privateers looking for top-tier skull defense across a wide range of sports, including skateboarding, scooter riding, BMX, and roller skating.
The standout advancement of this helmet is its advanced Ultra-Lightweight In-Mold Fusion Technology. This premium manufacturing process co-molds a durable Polycarbonate (PC) outer shell directly with a high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) inner core under extreme heat and pressure. Instead of relying on a loosely glued hard plastic cap, this fuses the layers into a singular, cohesive structural matrix that offers an unmatched protection-to-weight ratio. Upon impact, the unified shell deforms progressively to dissipate focal forces across the helmet's entire surface area, keeping young riders safe while maintaining an incredibly sleek low-profile aesthetic.
Anatomically contoured to sit low on the skull, the helmet utilizes an exclusive shape unique to REKD Protection that maximizes vital temporal and occipital coverage at the sides and back of the head. To guarantee an absolute, slip-free fitment as young athletes grow, the XXS/XS configuration includes interchangeable dual-size padding sets. These premium liners are treated with an anti-bacterial lining that wicks away moisture and prevents odor buildup during warm-weather park sessions. The retention setup is rounded out by a hardwearing nylon webbing strap and a high-strength nylon buckle, ensuring the helmet stays perfectly locked in position through heavy landings, high-velocity whips, and unexpected tumbles.
Weighing an astonishingly light 233 grams, the Junior Ultralite is recognized as one of the absolute lightest and highest-value junior helmets on the market. It is fully laboratory-tested and dual-certified to rigorous EN 1078 and CPSC international safety standards, providing total peace of mind for parents and coaches alike. Finished in a professional matte black tone, it features premium quality printed front and rear logos, custom branded REKD rivets, and heat-stamp embossed graphics on the plush interior padding. Protect your young shredder with the same cutting-edge in-mold technology used by international pros.
