AFX’s FX-17Y youth helmet is both ECE- and DOT-approved, and it features an aerodynamic shell design. It’s constructed of a lightweight composite poly-alloy for a weight of just 2.73 pounds and specifically designed to fit smaller adults and growing adolescents. The Youth Liner System enables the removable/washable, hypo-allergenic and antimicrobial nylon liners and cheek pads to be swapped out for three different helmet sizes as the rider grows. The FX-17Y comes with all the bells and whistles, including a removable screw-on visor, an eleven-point ventilation system, square-type D-ring retention strap and a clear-coat finish to protect the paint and graphics.
