Performance & Safety
Why the Downforce Jr works for junior racing
Thermal Ventilation
The ventilation system is designed to release warm air while limiting unnecessary cold drafts.
Beanie Liner
The liner supports warmth and moisture management during long training days.
Modular chin guard
A compatible chin guard can be fitted via the intended adapter plates for technical disciplines.
Junior-specific setup
The helmet is aimed at young racers and should be matched precisely to head size and goggle shape.
Race-oriented system
Helmet, race goggle and chin guard form one system in slalom and should be fitted together.
SF Sports Buying Advice
Buying advice: when the Downforce Jr makes sense
We recommend the Downforce Jr to young skiers who train regularly and need a true race helmet rather than a general junior piste helmet. The key factors are head shape, size, goggle compatibility and discipline.
Comparison
Race helmet or regular junior helmet?
A race helmet such as the Downforce Jr focuses on robust construction and modular race equipment. For recreational skiing only, a lighter and more comfort-oriented junior helmet may be the better choice.
Application & Selection
How we check size and setup
- Measure head circumference horizontally about one centimetre above the eyebrows.
- Fit the helmet snugly and evenly; it should not move noticeably with the chin strap closed.
- Test the race goggle together with the helmet and check the interface.
- For slalom, fit the compatible chin guard and check position and freedom of movement.

Advice for junior racing
We can check helmet size, goggle fit and the complete race setup. Especially for juniors, a helmet should fit now rather than being oversized for future growth.
