Pro-Tec Classic Certified Helmet - Matte Blue Large

...but for me isser just too heavy. The optics are great, the processing seems neat, he has also fit very well, only the weight has really bothered me unfortunately. I have here a helmet of a competitor who can not keep up visually, but technically brings the same certifications and (weighed!) 200g lighter ..Too bad, I liked the Pro-Tec.

Great fit for my small child. Love it!

I purchased a longboard for my daughter. Needed some protection for her. Looked at all the specs and this was the one I chose for her.She Loves this helmet. She added tons of stickers to make it more her style. Such a great purchase. Already saved her noggin when she took a tumble.

Great helmet to keep you safe

This is my sons skate helmet. Since the whole world is closed we decided to take a nice family bike ride down a few roads (We live off in the country). I usually don't ride a bike in fact a had to borrow my sons old bike so needless to say i had no helmet. Since everyone else including dad had a helmet i felt a bit delinquent with out one. So when i saw my sons skate helmet I figured close enough. It has a super nice soft fit way better than I remember my bike helmet fitting 30 years ago. The venting was ok bike helmets are better. It stayed put and saved me a bruise when i hit a low hanging branch with it. It gets the job done.

It's a helmet and protects your head.

I used this helmet probably two times since I've gotten it.( 6 days ago) It's a basic helmet nothing to write home about but I got it for a good price. I couldn't tell you if it would protect me during a crash because I have not hit my head with it. But it does have hard foam and soft foam inside of the helmet with a plastic shell. I got mine in matte red which looks really nice I think. I measured my head before getting it and I believe it is a little big. Size large.

Offers great protection

The wife and i skate a lot. She is a roller derby queen and very good on skates. She wears knee and wrist guards but does not need a helmet. I am a bit nervous and still would like some head protection. She got me a protec classic to wear. Very comfortable and well Vented. I feel very safe with it on since it is so well padded

Protection + Style = Pro-Tec Helmets

Love how light this helmet is but still feels snug and sturdy. I got a large at first but sent it back for a medium, much better fit. I got the green version with the rasta colors on the strap, already got a few compliments from strangers on that in the first few days wearing it! It's the little things....All in all, happy to protect my dome and look sharp simultaneously.

Saved My Son

Purchased 2 of these Protec Classic Certified Helmets from Evo one for my daughter and son. My 13 yr old son was riding his bike on an asphalt road in a state park campground when he rode off onto a small dirt embankment to avoid a peaked speed bump like most do for this particular speed bump. Apparently his front tire hit a tree root hidden by leaves and he flipped over his handlebars or so he was told when he came to. He seemed fine the rest of the 3 day trip with no issues. 5 days later at school he complained of headaches etc. We suspected a concussion. Took him to our general physician who also thought concussion but to be safe ordered an x-ray and CT scan. Turns out he had an acute subdural hematoma requiring transport to Riley Children's Hospital for ... MorePurchased 2 of these Protec Classic Certified Helmets from Evo one for my daughter and son.

Took him to our general physician who also thought concussion but to be safe ordered an x-ray and CT scan. Turns out he had an acute subdural hematoma requiring transport to Riley Children's Hospital for emergency surgery. 3hrs and 3 dime sized skull burr holes later the surgery was successful and the internal bleeding was stopped. While this may sound a terrible outcome for an innocuous bike wreck and wearing a helmet I am grateful for this Protec Classic Helmet because my son may not have survived without it or the outcome much worse. 2 weeks later he is back to his usual normal 13yr old boy self. So buy yourself or your loved ones this quality CERTIFIED helmet and be sure to WEAR IT. You never know when the time comes you be needing it. It literally saved my son. And it could save you too.

Solid helmet for the money

The wife decided we should wear helmets while biking and skiing and asked me to buy some. She liked the style of the protec. I got her a certified (since i care about her head) in pink and me a non certified (since i am near brain dead anyhow) in silver. The certifed feels very rigid and strong where as the class is soft. The non certified is great for small bumps but in a real fall i am not sure how much it would help. The classic is very comfortable but the tradeoff is the potential for a serious brain ingury.

The Classic for Good Reason

This helmet is called the Classic for a reason. It provides solid peace of mind for skateboarders/bicyclists/e-skaters while being understated in style (matte gray), but still a little cool. Speaking of cool, ventilation is okay - probably hot in the summer months. This model carries safety certifications (CPSC, ATSM, etc) but is not a MIPS helmet. Be aware there are two versions of the classic, one that is certified, one that isn't. Medium was the right fit for my intermediate oval head shape and does so without making me look like the Great Gazoo (or a tootsie pop). There are fancier brands out there like Nutcase that carry more certs, but are just huge on the head (may just be my head). This helmet fits well, looks cool, keeps me safer when riding, at a fair ... MoreThis helmet is called the Classic for a reason.

Wear it for looks wear it for safety

My boyfriend and i only ride bikes very casually and never do the helmet thing. However i make my daughter wear a helmet since there is a law. Last week my daughter was going out for a ride and asked if i would join her. As we were heading out i saw an old pro-tec helmet covered in dust sitting on the shelf in my boyfriends garage (with some inline skates) and figured i should wear it, since i make my daughter wear one, and as it is doing no one any good just sitting there. I put it on and was absolutely blown away at how easy it was to adjust. Throughout the ride it was so light and airy i kept forgetting it was on and it stayed put perfectly. I am glad i gave it a try and my daughter was happy mom had a helmet too . I will keep wearing it so that now i am ... MoreMy boyfriend and i only ride bikes very casually and never do the helmet thing. However i make my daughter wear a helmet since there is a law.
