Pro-Tec Classic Skate and Bike Helmet, Small, Gloss White

I bought the full cut Extra large version of this helmet first with the ear protectors. The full cut helmet is pretty tight on my head. My size is about a 7 3/4. Thats my boonie hat size. The chart states that the the extra large accommodates 7 1/2 so I knew it was going to be a tight fit. I bought this half cut helmet to see if it fits better than the full cut one. It does fit a little better but still snug on the temples. I havent used it for bmx applications or any other sport so I dont know the protection level. I read a review where a gentleman said he has a big head too and he used a 50lb weight to flatten the cushions then put them back in and claims the helmet fits good. So inspired, I put the cushions under 6 cases of bottle water under a metal plate for 3 hours. When I took the cushions out and put them back in it still was snug. Perhaps I need to ask the dudes paving my road if they could roll over my cushion pads one time for me. Overall its a good helmet. The velcrow holding the pads to the helmet might come off. It is hot where I live so the sticky back velcrow got weak and came off the one connecting the back pad of helmet. The looks are good though. I got a Bell helmet that makes me look funny but fits better. I often wear a helmet when I go walking in case a branch or something falls down. With the bell helmet, everyone just stares at me and ignores me when I greet them thinking that Im weird. With this helmet it sits lower so I look cool and people say hi to me. I bought the full cut version because thats what the NAVY SEALS use when boarding ships and maritime missions so I wanted a proven helmet.

This helmet was very cool looking and I wanted it to be perfect. But when it came, I had to send it back because the sizing is off. I ordered my size according to the measurements that they gave on Amazon, double checked the sizing accuracy on Protecs website and when the helmet came it was so small. I wondered it these were for kids, instead of adults. Other than that the helmet was really cool looking, if you really want it order a few sizes up.

Protech has quality products. The helmet was perfect for a 75 pound boy

Thank you

Exactly like the ones I wore growing up. They fit great and breathe awesome. Not too padded so I dont feel hot or claustrophobic. Also WAY cheaper on Amazon vs in store. I wanted something other than black. The pink is great. Not over the top but still different enough for me.

So I am a spry near 40 year old. I decided to take up one wheeling. Turns out there is a learning curve. I hit the road at 21mph and the helmet deflected any severe brain damage..... depending on who you ask. Great helmet, Super slim and lightweight.

Honestly 5 starts for looks but if I were too seriously smack my head on a ramp . Id be hurt badly . Barely any padding not even half a inch . Would reccomend a certified helmet .

I bought this after reading that most Tornado deaths were due to head injury. I survived a Tornado in Jan 2012 in my basement & thank GOD i did not need a helmet. Shortly thereafter i did get a weather radio, emergency nightlights & a helmet.. I mounted a headlamp on it so as to be able to see... sorry i am not a skater so i dont think i helped any enthusiasts out with this review....

Very light can barely tell its there

This product has a foam liner that is glued in but was not connected in this helmet. I believe the liner is supposed to be valcro but the sticky tape did not work. It also has Pro-Tec stickers applied all crooked. Very disappointing. Warranty says a year for workmanship or defects. The trick is you have to pay shipping back to them and include an additional 10 dollar check for shipping. To much trouble, not worth the headache....
