Triple Eight The Certified Sweatsaver Helmet for Skateboarding, BMX, and Roller Skating, Pacific Beach, Large/X-Large

A couple weeks ago my spouse told me to just man up and buy a new one because I bike so much, and I listened, and I'm so glad I did. The neighborhoods around us were being freshly paved, so there was a ton of loose gravel leftover. I hit a lip and and stones today on my road bike and flew off my seat. As my head hit the pavement, I felt the whole shell of the helmet vibrate and absorb the impact. I never write reviews, but I'm writing one today because I still have a brain with which to do so. No neck pain, no head pain, no problems. I tore up the left side of my shoulder and leg but it's nothing considering I was able to bike a few miles home with an intact skull. Buy your head size up if you have to, because it's nice and snug, but do buy this helmet.

At the very least, it saved me from a traumatic brain injury. I was going downhill on an electric skateboard when the brakes failed. I was going far too fast by the time I realized what was happening, and I tried to run it out. I made it about 3 or 4 steps before I went down. Hard. I put my hands out to facilitate a roll, and I did roll, while also BOUNCING my head on the pavement 3 times. Right side (and broke my collarbone with that first hit), backside, left side.I ended up with a broken left thumb, a VERY broken right collarbone, road rash on both shoulders and both hips, and ZERO injuries to my head or brain. The helmet's skin also has severe road rash from all 3 hits.I am certain this helmet saved me from a TBI, and may have saved my life.WEAR A FRIGGIN HELMET, PEOPLE! This one looks pretty sleek, not dorky like a bike helmet, and the value of NOT having a TBI is worth having a sweaty head. Better to have it sweaty than bloody...Go to Youtube and search "Session error: the rise and risk of electric skateboards" and also "The Moth presents Stephanie Perirolo: Walking with RJ for a dose of the reality of what recovering from a TBI is like.WEAR A HELMET! Wear pads, too! My elbows and knees were fine because I had pads on. I also had "slide gloves" on my hands, but they're not designed for hard hits to the ground, so I got a broken thumb, BUT no road rash on my hands or fingers.

I LOVE this helmet!! Great color. Breathable. The pic is very accurate in depicting the true color of the Mint (my sweater is very much a Kelly green). I originally ordered a size L/XL because my head measures at 22in BUT I found that neither padding was tight enough, so I exchanged for the S/M. It's better to have it fit a little snug for safety. I love the soft texture of the matte finish. I know some reviews say it runs small, but just Ginny the sizing chart and if you're on the cusp like me, I'd recommend a more snug fit and going with the smaller size so you feel secure.

I love this helmet! It's really shiny, super comfortable, and cute too boot. I did have to mod podged over the glitter rainbow to prevent it from flaking off, if you see the black spot on the yellow in the pic, that was from just 1 bump on the glitter. Now that I sealed it better I dont have that issue anymore.

As a lucky person with a giant head and thick hair; My head is about 25 Inches potato round and this helmet is too tight to fit properly. I measured my head after I ordered this, which is my fault!!! But my brother can have this for skating. Overall cool helmet. But not big enough for us big heads size 8 1/2 hats. Any recommendations welcome having no luck finding proper fitting helmet. . . .

Because of the padding in this helmet(where the padding sits), it makes it uncomfortable. My 12 year old son developed headaches. I bought him triple 8 helmet before this one, had it for 2 years and it was great. It seems they are cheaply made anymore. I had this one for 2 weeks, took the helmet off and the padding fell out, the only way to keep it in is to glue it. I will never buy this product again. Very disappointed $54 in the trash after 2 weeks.

I bought this helmet after a nasty fall and a close call with what could have been a threatening head injury. It came with two sets of the "Sweatsaver" liner, which are removable via velcro. They are different sizes, one larger and one smaller. This helmet is pretty comfortable, breathable, and so far the "Sweatsaver" lining is doing its job in the odor territory. I haven't had the opportunity to actually wreck in this helmet, but it seems fairly sturdy and I trust it to do its job should I become involved in another skating accident. You may look at the price and think about going cheaper. Their are certainly cheaper helmets out there, but the price comes with the dual-certification of this helmet. I was happy to pay a few extra dollars to get a helmet that has passed the necessary tests.Overall, a decent, comfortable helmet that I would recommend to anyone participating in a high-risk skating sport.

My head is exactly 22.5 inches around, right at the end of a S/M and the beginning of a L/XL. I went with a S/M and it was perfect. It comes with extra padding which I won’t use since it’s snug as it is but if you’re right on the line between sizes go for the smaller one.I’ve used Triple 8 helmets in the past and they’re great! Sturdy and great at protecting your brain but also comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time.

I brought a pure electric scooter and needed a helmet, the one I originally brought was too small ( I have a large head) this XXL version fitted me well. So if you have a large head this is the product for you.

Great present

El casco es muy cómodo. Trae unas almohadillas de la talla M (que fue la que pedí) que vienen pegadas con velcro, y otras de repuesto de la talla S por si las otras te quedan grandes. El casco trae una pegatina que pone S/M.

Lo pedí en verde menta, me llegó en color negro. Quiero que me lo cambien pero solo tengo la opción de devolverlo, y cuando lo vuelva a pedir seguramente me llegrá en negro de nuevo. Necesito que me lo cambien

Super bueno para proteger la cabeza, almohadas cambiables de acuerdo a la talla
