HELMETS AND GOGGLES

Kids' Motocross Helmets and Goggles for Young Riders

The helmets and goggles section of the children's motocross collection at Foxracing.si brings together head protection and eyewear made specifically for young riders. Here you will find youth motocross helmets and kids' MX goggles from Fox, sized and shaped for smaller heads and faces, for riding on the track, on trails and on the pit bike.

What you will find in this category

• Youth motocross helmets – full-face off-road helmets with a peak, a wide eye port for goggles and a chin bar, built on smaller youth shells so the weight stays proportional to a child's head and neck.
• Kids' MX goggles – goggles with a narrower frame and shorter strap that seal against the face, keep out dust, mud and roost, and lock into the eye port of a youth helmet.
• Replacement parts and accessories – spare lenses, tear-offs and goggle straps that keep vision clear over a long moto.

How to choose a helmet and goggles for a child

• Measure before you buy. Run a tape around the head about 2 cm above the eyebrows and ears, take the largest reading and match it to the size chart. Never buy a helmet to "grow into" – a loose helmet can move or come off in a crash.
• Check the fit. The cheek pads should press the cheeks gently, the helmet should not rotate when the head is shaken, and with the strap fastened it should not roll forward off the head.
• Certification. Look for a helmet approved to the standard required where you ride; competition clubs and race organisers usually specify it in their rules.
• Weight and shell. Lighter shells reduce strain on a young rider's neck, which matters over a full race day.
• Ventilation. Intake and exhaust vents plus moisture-wicking, removable and washable liners keep the head cooler on hot days.
• Goggle and helmet compatibility. Try the goggles with the helmet: the frame should sit inside the eye port without gaps at the nose or forehead, and the strap should run around the shell, not under the peak.
• Lens choice. Clear lenses for dull days and evening riding, tinted or mirrored lenses for bright sun. Anti-fog coating and multi-layer face foam make a big difference for kids who ride at lower speeds with less airflow.

Brands

This category is dedicated to Fox, whose youth range mirrors its adult motocross equipment – youth helmets such as the V1 and goggles such as the Main in kids' sizing – so a young rider gets the same style and fit philosophy scaled down.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the right helmet size for my child?

Measure the head circumference about 2 cm above the eyebrows with a soft tape and compare it with the manufacturer's size chart. Then check the fit in practice: snug all round, no movement, no pressure points.

Can a child wear an adult motocross helmet?

It is not advisable. Adult shells are heavier and their internal shape does not match a child's head, so the fit and the protection it depends on are compromised.

When should a motocross helmet be replaced?

After any significant impact, even if there is no visible damage, and once the helmet no longer fits – children's heads grow quickly, so re-measure each season.

Do MX goggles fit over glasses?

Standard youth goggles are not designed for spectacles; riders who wear glasses are usually better served by OTG-specific models or prescription inserts.

Which lens for cloudy weather?

A clear or low-light lens keeps contrast and brightness when the sky is grey or the light is fading.
