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.

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.

The Pro-Tec Classic Skate helmet features a dual-density foam liner for enhanced protection and comfort. The stainless steel rivets add durability and stability during an impact and the sweat absorbing liner keeps your head dry and wicks sweat away keeping it our of your face. The Classic is simple and lightweight which is why it is often imitated but never duplicated. . Model Year: 2011, Product ID: 12869

Well I ride BMX and never really found it necessary to wear a helmet unless I was at a skatepark where they are required. I am very happy that I found the old school style of the protec helmet because it fits much much better than the new school ones with the styrofoam liner. This helmet fits my head great and it makes me feel much more comfortable when I am out riding. I also use this helmet when I ride my road bike as well. I have a road bike type helmet but it doesn't fit right and is uncomfortable and hideous looking. I feel this was a good buy for myself and can be for many others. Oh, and the helmet took about a week to get to my door. Not bad!

Just bought 2 of these for my sons to replace their older skate helmets that no longer fit. What's immediately noticeable is how much lighter they are since there isn't the full inner foam liner - just foam segments attached to the soft sizing pads. I assume this makes the helmet cooler since air can circulate now. Not sure my son's care all that much but they like the translucent colors so happy with my purchase.
