Today’s junior equipment is top notch, with a range of performance equal to Mom and Dad’s. But fast-growing kids can require new gear long before it’s worn out. Fortunately, there are programs where junior equipment can be traded annually for a set fee, making it possible to keep the kids in properly fitted gear at a reasonable cost. Check for such programs at your shop.
Dalbello JAKK
$349.95

The JAKK is Dalbello’s top-of-the-line junior boot, with all the features of the company’s adult models. It’s listed in the free ski category but also could do the job for young racers.
