I commute to work on cycle, in the summer ive been using a Giro Helmet, as its gotten colder and darker i wanted something with less vents because of cold air and with more protection.* I have a very large cranium, its got its own moon and seasons, i have struggled with sizes of helmets and hats for years, this large size fits very well. Its snug without being overly tight, i would have loved a little extra cushioning by means of interchangeable pad inserts, you do get some with it but they are like for like, which in fairness is also a decent feature.*The helmet is less than a hundred grammes heavier than my Giro lid which is very lightweight,

Over the last few weeks, IlI have returned three helmets and I can say I have finally found the winner. I’ve been looking for a BMX-ish type helmet for cruising around the hood on my bike. Two of the helmets were advertised incorrectly as applying to biking or are questionable on safety—advertised with [certification] but with no markings or stickers lending credit to the claim. They also came only in a tied-off bag...sketchy. The third one had such a large dome that it made my head look huge....probably a safe helmet, but not the youthful look I was after.Opened the amazon box and was extremely happy to find the helmet in packaging worthy of a new helmet from a store.

Bought this for my daughter's fourth birthday. I got the Extra-Small/Small helmet. However, she's a little on the petite side so I had to add a couple pads from a cheapo bike helmet that someone had given her. That's in addition to the pads already included with this helmet. The helmet fits snugly now, and doesn't move even when she moves her head quickly.I bought her this particular helmet as her favourite colour is orange, and I didn't want to settle for a less protective helmet given her interests. She loves it so much that she needs no reminding to wear it while on her scooter, her balance bike, or her skateboard! Bear in mind though that part of the design on the helmet is a whole pig stuck on the tines of a fork,

I originally ordered this helmet in a size L/XL, since other reviews seemed to indicate that they run a little small and I'm just on the cusp between a S/M and L/XL. The L/XL size was too large and I was concerned about the amount of excess room my head still had in the L/XL helmet even with the thicker pads inserted, so I exchanged it for a size S/M - unfortunately the S/M is quite a tight fit, almost uncomfortably so. It seems that if your measurement falls somewhere between a S/M and L/XL there really isn't a good size option for you, especially if you've got long hair that needs to be kept out of your face (via a braid or other compact hairstyle). When choosing between the two sizes I'll probably end up sticking with the S/M.

I've been shopping around for a helmet for E-Skateboarding. I find that a lot of the cheaper helmets out there is very specific to construction. It is usually bulky and not so good fitting for my head, or does not offer "good" protection. So I pulled the trigger on the more expensive brands like this triple 8 and I am liking it so far!When I first got this helmet I immediately can tell this is made for skateboarding. It is very low profile which exactly what I am looking for. If its your first time using helmets, you WILL feel like it is thick but this helmet is one the thinnest you can get while keeping you protected. The helmet is thin but provides adequete protection to my head and is also Multi-Impact,CPSC,

I bought this for casual bike riding with the family. I don't really like the look of the open bike helmets, and they tend to sit too high on my head...they just look weird in my opinion. I was a little concerned about how hot this style might get having less vent holes, but after using it for a few weeks I can confirm that it stays reasonably cool and comfortable even on hot days - certainly no hotter than an open style helmet. My head measurement is just under 59cm (58.5cm) and the L-XL fits really well.One thing of note that may concern some people (but does not bother me at all) is that the rear straps that come off the helmet line up slightly more over-the-ear than behind it.

Im not exactly sure how to rate a helmet without including "it did/did not save my life," but outside of that it seems of good quality. Super crazy light, I actually purchased this for both bicycling and as simple head protection from bonks in caves/forests. Of course NOT for falling rocks or logs, in case that weren't obvious. I have a pretty enormous head, and the XL fits me fairly well. The ventilation is very good, but I will say it could be a bit more comfortable. The padding is a little stiff and sparce, and I could easily imagine extended use becoming uncomfortable. Also the only person this helmet will fit absolutely perfectly is someone with like three-day stubble on their head.

Read a lot of previous reviews before purchasing this product, and I am glad that I did. I was looking for an all around helmet that is good for skateboarding and snowboarding. I'm a somewhat experienced rider, and I have been holding out on getting a new helmet for a while now, and this helmet was a great choice for me.The first thing I noticed out of the box was that it was very light weight. I have a larger head, and triple 8 definitely runs a little bit smaller. I read the reviews saying to get a size up, and it was definitely the right decision. Usually I can get away with a medium with some helmet sizings, but definitely needed to move to the L/XL size for this helmet.The fit on my head was pretty much perfect,

I'm gonna be completely honest. I bought this helmet the same time I bought a onewheel pint with the intention of being responsible and wearing a helmet when I rode it.The story begins when the Pint arrives at my door step and I'm so excited to ride it I completely forget to grab the helmet. Within 30 minutes of riding I push the board a little to hard and end up nose diving. Next thing i know I'm sliding across the concrete only to be stopped by my head hitting a curb. When the adrenaline quit pumping through my body I realized I had some pretty bad road rash and a gash on my head. I then go to the hospital to discover I have a pretty severe concussion. I've always been told I have a hard head,

I will start by saying that I’ve always disliked safety Sally’s. From the way I was raised to joining the military and being around “meat-eating” grunts, Ive always been the “get it done and don’t be a pansy” testosterone-driven type of guy. I had never broken a bone until about 6 months ago riding an electric skateboard. Something told me I should wear my helmet that day. I honestly believe that of it wasn’t for this helmet I would’ve killed himself on that fall. I was going extremely fast and landed head-on first. I remember trying to correct my fall as I hit the pavement, but it just wasn’t happening. Fast forward 6 months later,

My Cheil felt off the bike wow hit by a car in the first being the impact of the vehicle and the ground was my son‘s head it was rushed to the hospital where he was stall that not a single scratch or bruise seen happen due to their helmet he had scratches on his hands and arms and there was even paint transfer into the helmet but my son was alive and yes a bit scared not much because he knew that his helmet was good he felt that he is real Picky about helmets and his helmet came in handy so much that he was so confident thank you so much for making a great product you if I had money right now I will probably replace it right away I’m probably going to wait until next paycheck to replace the

Super reliable and sturdy helmet. The make feels strong and reliable-- I have trusted it to protect my noggin while riding dangerous Brooklyn and Boston streets.My only complaint about this helmet was that it was, initially, uncomfortably small on me. I'm a small person (5'3) and consider my head pretty normal-sized, but the small-medium did not fit comfortably when I put it on-- I had to remove the included padding around back of the head to keep it from feeling like it was squeezing my brain. (Those came out easily enough, as they're velcroed in, so I didn't feel the need to return it.) I don't think this effects the safety of the helmet-- at least I hope not-- though I've never tested it out.

Got my helmet tried it on the thicker pads seemed appropriate so I removed thinner ones and reinstalled wish there were more velcro anchor points feels weekly applied but whatever felt good when on. Strap...this is the one part I just didn't like I wish they added a plush cushion on the strap area similar to a motorcycle helmet for comfort because you want it snug but this is a pretty unforgiving strap and buckle but I have it loosened enough to not come off and not be horribly uncomfortable. I'm hoping in time maybe the strap even feels like its broken in a little so we shall see ive only just got it and I may add something to the strap to give a little comfort.

It's terrifically hard to find a helmet with enough chops to be certified CPSC and ASTM while being comfortable and reasonably good looking. I use mine as insurance for my longboarding adventures. As a kid, I cracked a child's bell helmet in half crashing into the corner of a mailbox; it saved my life. For ~$35, this extra bit of protection is a no-brainier. My head is 23.5in in circumference and the Large/XL size fits to within an inch. The extra spacers included bring it up to being a snug and safe fit.Pros:-Strap system is highly adjustable and easy to use-Extra set of large spacers (included)

Perfect fit (got the s/xs per Triple Eights sizing guide), very soft feel, comfortable and stable. Other helmets of this shape tended to make me feel top heavy while I was riding and slid all over the place on my head because they were never quite the right fit. This helmet is super comfy and I feel confident it will keep me safe. It was also much cheaper through Amazon than through Triple Eight's online store. If you are ordering though Amazon though, this is VERY IMPORTANT: Before ordering, go to Triple Eight's website, locate the product page for the EXACT helmet you want to order and follow their sizing guide. Different models of helmets have difference sizing guides,
