 Fantastic, January 14, 2011
By CailynAmanda (Tampa, FL)
|
|
I play roller derby, and this helmet has saved me from several injuries. I was able to go to a local skatepark shop, and try on the helmets to see which one would fit. According to the Protec sizing, I would be a medium, but when I tried on the helmets, the large fit exactly the way I need it to; snug, but not tight. Keep that in mind when purchasing a helmet online. Otherwise a sound investment, and a fantastic purchase. I love this helmet.

 BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!, September 26, 2010
By OnAJrne (Seattle, WA)
|
|
I purchased and recieved in a timely fashion.
Was given to my Nephew for a Birthday gift.
Once opened we'd realized it was too small.
Not a problem, so I'd thought.
Placing it back into the box w/plastic NOTHING torn
or misplaced I put it back into its original shipping box, thinkin I could just replace it with one that fit him.
Called them and told them my situation.
They had NONE IN STOCK and did not know WHEN THEY WOULD and told me if I return it they'd charge me a 15% restocking fee UNLESS I could find something else to purchase from them then they'd give me the 100% credit. I waited it out for almost Ten working days and still NO STOCK TO SIMPLY REPLACED WHAT I'D PURCHASED. They told me sorry I don't know what to tell you, once the 45/days are up we can't even return it so make your decision. OBVIOUSLY I NEEDED a helmet, which is WHY I MADE THIS PURCHASE!!! So I gave it away and purchase ANOTHER ...now assuming more cost and TIME!!!
NOT PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE!!!!!!!!
Amazon, THEY'RE GREAT...LOVE EM'!!! *******

 I like it!, June 29, 2011
By Brooke (Chester Springs, PA United States)
|
|
I wear this helmet for riding my bike around the city, and it's great. I chose this type because I think most bike helmets look like Predator hats. My roommate jokes that it makes me look like a Koopa Troopa from Super Mario Brothers, which prompts me to hum the first part of the Super Mario Brothers theme every time I put it on. I threw some reflective stickers on it and was able to clip my light to the back of it, too. No complaints!

XL fit my huge head, March 23, 2011
By chris

I wear a 17 3/4" hat and the XL fit my head perfectly. This helmet is strong and not bulky like some other helmets I have tried. I use it for bike riding and it keep my head relatively cool.

Pretty cool!, September 15, 2011
By littleln (Columbus Ohio)
|

Yeah! I ordered a Large adult Punk pink! It's awesome! It's well ventilated and light weight, but definitely offers tons of protection (ok, not that I've fallen on my head lately, but it's got a good protection vibe). Also a bonus, the extra bright color is nice because it is easy to see for motorists. I thought the pink might be too much, but it really isn't... honestly even without the bright color it's already kind of garish, it's a skate helmet for crying out loud. Add in the punk pink color and we bring it to wonderful new levels of ridiculous fabulous, fashionably questionable FUN! Love it, wouldn't change a thing. I found the company size chart to be accurate. I was borderline between a Large and an XL. My husband has an XL (black, not fab pink) so I tried it on. It fit fine, but I wanted a snugger fit so I got the large and it is perfecto.

Guess I'm XXL, September 1, 2011
By Ben
|
|
I need a size 7 3/4-8 1/4 hat. I assumed that the XL would be good. It fit pretty tight. I took out the padding and stuck them under a couple 45 lb weights for a few hours and it fit perfectly.
Looks good and protects my noggin.

Nice helmet, small sizing, April 24, 2011
By Irie (Alaska)
|
|
I bought this helmet for my wife. The helmet looks awesome, it looks very quality and from handling it, it seems to be excellent quality, however the size is definitely meant for children. Based on the sizing chart from the manufacturers website (for adult helmets), my wife needed a small. So, we ordered a small. When it arrived she tried it on and it was way too small. My 11 year old daughter tried it on and it was even to small for her. It fit my 8 year old son the best, but it was pink so we opted to send it back instead of making him wear a pink helmet. We're going to order another, however this time we'll be ordering a large.

Nice, but sizes run small, December 31, 2011

I wear a size 7 - 1/4 and this size adult L is too tight. Recommend the XL if you are a size 7 or greater.

Helmet Overview, June 6, 2010
By Bob Stow (Uncasville, CT USA)
|
|
Bought for my son who had outgrown his old one and hadn't boarded for a few years. Bought after he had an accident and ended up EXREMELY lucky with only abrasions, bruises, and STAPLES in his head to close the gash. Did the homework and read the reviews and bought it before the staples had been removed. He is too important not to protect with the proper gear!

Still the best in the game, July 1, 2011
By J. Abrego (Southern Alabama)
|
|
I've been involved in bike dirt jumping/street riding/freestyle since 1996. I've tried other helmets and Protec has always been my favorite. I got out of riding for a couple of years and recently got into mountain biking, so again I found myself needing a helmet. I tried another cheaper brand hoping to save a few dollars and got disappointed. I ended up ordering a new Protec and, as usual, am totally happy with it. Based off of my head measurement (57cm) I ordered a Large and it fits perfectly. It may fit a little tight if your head is any bigger than that.

Long story short, crashed on my longboard going down hill at approximately 25-30 mph, broke a few bones, but this helmet saved my life. Fits well & looks good.

Awesome Design but Too Small, January 28, 2012
By BikeNSnow
|
|
I needed to replace my old Giro MTB helmet. Since I live in Malaysia and I couldn't find a decent helmet from any local retailers, I ordered two L-size helmets from Amazon, one by Giro and the other by Protec. The Giro helmet came with adjustment helmet, so it fits perfectly; however, the Protec helmet only came with one set of padding inside, and it was a bit small for my head. I love the design (black base with red Devil), and no point returning it; so I will just give it to my nephew. For this particular Protec helmet, I recommend that get one size bigger than what you normally wear and adjust fitting with extra padding, if necessary.

Great helmet!, January 19, 2012
By Lariza Fonseca
|
|
I had a pro-tec helmet few years ago, it was stolen. Because I loved it, I decided to buy another one. I like its shape, color and quality; personal taste I guess. The only minor thing is the size, unless my head has grown in this last years, the helmet is a bit tight. It is still my size but the cushions inside are too thick. Since it is not a big deal (it is still my size - medium) I'm just trying to remember if I had the same feeling with the previous one but I simply forgot about it. I still love it.

Tight fit otherwise looks to be a good helmet, September 30, 2011
By Bradley (Houston, TX USA)
|

The paint is nice and the color is vibrant. Looks like a high quality product, but consider ordering at least one size larger if you're going by the measurements provided by Amazon / Pro-tec

By far the BEST helmet on the market!!!, April 25, 2011
By Allyvwell (PALMYRA, NJ)
|
|
We purchased the black with the red Spitfire helmet for our 8 year son who loves to skateboard. It fits his head perfectly, looks great and gets the job done with a comforting piece of mind. My son who usually hates to wear a helmet because the chin strap is too tight is 100% completely satisfied with how this feels and fits him!

Pretty nice Helmet, January 5, 2011
By riblobster
|
|
The helmet is really nice. I would only caution that they run a little small. Bought this for my 11 year old son and i should have gone with the next size up. My kids head is rather large but I assumed a large would be big enough. It fit but was a little snug, otherwise would be a perfect rating.

I longboard, so this helmet was useful for me when I would go downhill skating with my friends. The quality is great. The colors are great. Everything was in the box. Stickers and instructions.

 Certification Problem, May 21, 2012
By M. Rogers
|
|
This is a classic skate helmet which is not certified for anything, NOT the classic bike/skate cross-certified helmet that the description indicates. The shell is the same but the foam liners are completely different. It's a decent helmet for what it is but it's a multi-impact helmet and not suitable for road bike use or downhill mountain bike. The two stage foam liner is more comfortable than a bike helmet liner so I'm thinking about keeping it for backwoods trail riding where low hanging tree branches and low speed falls are my only enemies but I'll have to get something different for road use.

Cute but small., May 19, 2012
By A. Cabouet
|
|
Maybe I just have a giant head but the padding included with this helmet makes it way way too tight to wear for me. It comes with front (forehead) padding, top 'o the head padding, and a back of the neck/side padding. Three separate pieces. I had to remove the top and re-position the side padding to make it work. Hopefully I don't crash my bike while wearing this.

Color doesn't quite match the photo, April 23, 2012
By Average Joe
|
|
The helmet I ordered is a different shade of gray than that of the picture. It has silver lettering while the photo shows it to have black lettering. The one I ordered looked a little better, but this one is alright. Fit is a little snug even though I was at the lower end of the sizing scale. Oh well, it's just a helmet.

DOES THE JOB, March 22, 2012
By roy
|

I ordered this helmet for use in my "storm center", a place of retreat should the weather become dangerous. The extra large size is, to me, really just a large size, and is a bit snug. The price compares favorably with what is available in sports shops locally.

Nice looking,shiny, runs small, March 2, 2012
By Judi
|
|
I ordered the XL and it's a very tight fit on my head, although I measured my head according to the chart provided. Still, the helmet is well made and feels durable. The straps are smoother and a little thicker than the straps on other helmets that I have.
I wanted the bright pink to match my pink Electra Townie. It's a little lighter than the bike, but still looks nice together.
