Pro-Tec Classic Certified Skate Helmet

Helmet fit is terrible, straps do not tighten, and helmet slides forward and backward, which is just as dangerous as not wearing a helmet. Go for the big brandname helmets with proven track record. Dont slouch on this brand, your childs protection demands the very best head protection, and this helmet is definitely not it!

Perfect

The best!

My son loves it. Looks and fits great.

I bought this helmet along with the triple 8 dual certified. Both Helmets are pretty much the same helmet from a protection standpoint. I saw various reviews comparing the shapes of both helmets with Protec being more round & Triple 8 being more oval. I was not really sure how my head would fit so I purchased both to compare. Looking at the helmets you can clearly see the shape difference. Well this helmet is definitely round and will fit a round head shape better. It looks more pronounced of a mushroom on my head and there is more space (loose) in the temples so yea it is round and I realized my head is more oval shaped. The triple 8 is for sure more oval and fit my head much better all around and had no gap near the temples. With the padding the protec is pretty thin! Triple 8 offers two sets of liners with different thickness and the thinner one is still thicker than the Protec. Long story short; same exact helmets safety wise as Triple 8, Protect for round head and liner is crap! If my head was round and was a fit for me I would give it a 4. One star deduct for the liner

My son and I both have pro-tec. (Mine isn’t safety certified, his is). Both adult large, certified is the one on the right. We both love them. Comfortable, breathe as much as a helmet is going to, and doesn’t make you look like you have a giant round bbq lid on your noggin. Really though, why ya think pros wear pro-tec…..because they’re great skull savers!!! I’m definitely not gonna trust a cheap knockoff to protect my child’s head. I’ve read Triple Eight helmets for eggheads and protec for round heads. My son has an alien like cranium and his certified protec fits great! Pay attention to the size chart, use some common sense in sizing, buy a bada** protec and get out and have some fun!!!

Just recieved my black large helmet and it fits perfect. My head is just a tad under 23. I had to ajust the strap and use all available length but got it to fit as well, just right. Helmet comes with a couple decals as well but I will be using a decal of Route 66 with wings that I will apply to the back. Helmet is certified and well worth the money, looks fantastic.

that was legitness

It felt a bit narrow on my head and gave me a headache.

This review isn’t from someone who is an avid skateboarder or really has much knowledge about the sport. My daughter is into skateboarding and we bought her this new helmet as a gift. It fits exactly as described (remember to follow the sizing chart) and she said it fits her better than any other helmet she’s had. We like that it has a certified impact approval rating, she likes that it’s so comfortable she doesn’t mind wearing it. Win-win.
