AFX FX-17Y Attack Youth Off-Road Helmet

Young riders need a helmet that fits right, breathes well and stays put when the track gets rough. The AFX FX-17Y Attack Youth Off-Road Helmet (part number 0111-1417) is a youth motocross-style helmet from AFX with a lightweight poly-alloy shell, a screw-on adjustable visor and goggle guides on the eyeport.

It comes in Matte Black/Green, Black/Hi-Vis Yellow, Frost Gray/Matte Black, Matte Black/Silver, Matte Black/Blue, Matte Black/Fuchsia, Matte Black/Orange and Matte Black/Red, in sizes SM, MD and LG. Availability varies by size and color.

Sizing and Fit

Measure around the head about an inch above the eyebrows and ears, at the widest point, and compare to AFX's youth size chart. A properly fitted helmet feels snug all around with the cheek pads pressing gently, doesn't rock when you shake your head, and doesn't leave pressure points after 15 minutes. Don't buy a size up for a child to grow into; a loose helmet won't protect them properly.

Safety Notes

• Fasten the D-ring strap snugly every ride; you should only fit a finger or two under it.
• Replace any helmet after a crash or impact, even if no damage is visible.
• Most manufacturers recommend replacing helmets about every five years.
• Check the DOT or other certification label inside the helmet for your area; the current listing doesn't state certification.
• An adult should check fit and strap adjustment before every ride.

Goggles and Neck Braces

Off-road helmets are made to be worn with goggles; the molded goggle guides keep the strap in place. Check neck brace compatibility with your brace maker's guidelines.

Care

• Clean the shell with mild soap and water; avoid solvents that can damage the clear coat.
• Air the liner out after every ride.
• Store away from heat, fuel and direct sun, ideally in a helmet bag.
