Giro Kids' Scamp Cycling Helmet

Product Information

All helmet manufacturers use the same sizing system, based on the circumference of the head above the ears. The sizes themselves vary from brand to brand, though, so it’s important to measure your own head and keep that number handy if you can’t try on a helmet before buying it. Weight, Ventilation, and Aerodynamics The shell of the Giro Scamp is similar to that of an adult mountain bike helmet. It has an integrated visor which is nice to help protect little eyes from the sun and shade their faces. NH: Helmets are pretty tough, but you should give yours some care if you want it to last. Extreme heat can deteriorate certain materials, like the plastic shell or MIPS protection, so store helmets someplace cool and out of the sun.

It is, however, significantly lower quality than the Scamp.This ability to fine tune the chin straps on the Scamp is another reason why it stands out from the crowd. With many helmets, particularly budget helmets, the chin straps are often extremely difficult to properly adjust. As a result, these helmets often flop around on a child’s head and never remain squarely on top. Coming standard with MIPS safety technology, the Specialized Mio is on the more expensive side for toddler bike helmets, but it’s one of the safest and one of the easiest to use.

Use a tape measure to find the right size helmet for your kid that fits and is snug. Position the tape measure above the ears of the kid, approximately 1 inch above the eyebrows. Ensure the tape is level and measure the circumference around the largest part of their head. Given the technical specifications information, you can use the measurements to find the corresponding size.
