Helmet probably saved my life. Buy one and wear it!!
This helmet is very, very good quality. It saved me from serious brain and skull injury. I hit a lip from uneven concrete crack at 20 + mph and my Evolve bamboo GTX stopped cold. I flipped face first into the concrete........ massive impact!!! I broke my arm and have scrapes everywhere, but.... No bumps, wallops or tender spots on my noggin. NOTHING but a couple small scrapes to my nose and lip. I cannot believe it. The helmet took the blow. I would have had a serious brain injury, lost all my teeth, broken my nose and very likely could have died without it. I walked away and am forever grateful. I am ordering another right now. Friends....please ALWAYS wear your helmet.Thank you Triple Eight!

Arguably saved my brain-
Suffered a mishap in August of '16 where I was ejected off my bike. Initial impact was left rear area (occipital?) of my skull, followed by my left shoulder & upper torso, onto a concrete surface. Broke my left clavicle, damaged some ligaments & muscle, and turned a lot of soft tissue black & blue. Even though my head took the landing I suffered NO injuries there; no concussion, no loss of consciousness, no bumps, nothing. This helmet did everything I hoped it could do.

This helmet saved my life
OK, so I have to vouch for this helmet because it just saved my life. I am an experienced skateboarder, arguably too old to still be doing this at 39, however. I was riding my electric skateboard at the park a couple days ago, and mistakenly hit the trigger while I was not ready for it. The board shot out from underneath my legs, causing me to fly back and bang the back of my head on the concrete about as hard as a 6 foot tall man can do.Aside from being embarrassed, my first thought was “holy shit, this thing just save my life.“ No concussion, no cranial fracture, no subdural hemorrhage. That could’ve been a very bad injury, and like most bad injuries came when I was least expecting it. I was barely even moving at the time.Buy this helmet. It might just save your life. It literally saved mine.

Had a bad fall off an e-board which took my head directly ...
Helmet probably saved my life, at the very least saved my skull from getting a crack. Had a bad fall off an e-board which took my head directly into the street. Helmet did its job. Bought the exact same Triple Eight as a replacement post accident. You can see the impact in the pics on the right front side of the helmet. The foam collapsed as it should on the right temple. Thank you Triple Eight!

Top teir helmet for comfort, weight, and size for skateboarding
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, ASTM rated.The fitting is I would say is true to size. measuring my head to be around 22 to 22 1/4 inches, this fits snug on my head with adustable added inserts to comform to your head shape. What I like is this is not heavy weighted. Bobbing and weaving my head doesn't feel as restricted as the helmet I had before. As I am using an electric skateboard for the first time, heavy head weight gets me off balanced quickly.All in all. I would highly recommend this helmet due to its LOW PROFILE size and comfort. I am sure it is great for other sports but this is one of the best brands for Skateboarding.

Saved my life
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, I am still recovering from my arm fracture with a possibility of corrective surgery.This taught me a life lesson and I will no longer ride anything without a helmet. Please use a helmet. This helmet did a great job for me and it saved my life. I’m posting this as I search for a higher end bicycle helmet.WEAR IT

Great Helmet, Lightweight for Level of Protection and comfortable!
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, at under 450g its light considering the amount of plastic casing it has.* I still wanted some vents to allow partial air travel into the lid, this does just that, theres no need to get sweaty in a full lid. I didnt think i could fit a helmet mounted light, or a camera if i decide to get one, however i have done using cable ties as pictured. One tip would be not to tighten them too much as they could cut into the foam, however they are not noticeable on the head when wearing.* After a month of wearing it has not become less comfortable, the pads are intact and cushioning remains the same as the day i put it on, it feels robust, its obviously got a lot of fans in extreme sports so the fact its also so versatile as an everyday commuter lid is great.* With having minimal vents i find it useful for storing gloves, keys etc, something i couldnt do before with a fully vented lid.* The chin strap is totally adjustable and fairly easy to do, fits right under the chin and doesnt sit on it, a cushioned pad might be useful if you want it really tight but you can easily make one yourself out of the extra pads supplied if necessary.* It appears solid, im not shy in chucking it around and so far no scratches or dents etc, that said the ultimate sturdiness test is a crash and not something you really want to test! I feel confident however it would perform well and so for me this is the most important factor.* Overall its a fantastic looking helmet, the large size is nice and snug and its lightweight but with obvious protection advantages over a more traditional cycle helmet. Buy one if your looking for a well made premium helmet thats both great looking and sturdy!

Medidas confiables
Pedï dos cascos uno S/M y un L/XL y ambos se ven de un buen material y resistentes, se siente un poco justo el XL pero entiendo que así debe ser;el otro casco también resultó bien de tamaño,mi hermana y yo tenemos medidas de 57 y 61 cm respectivamente, las correas son suaves y gruesas y se ven resistentes,es un puntazo que traigan un segundo par de almoadillas,aunque solo son las de enfrente y detrás,de la coronilla no tiene recambio. Buena ventilación también aunque queda un poco corta en dias calurosos.Lo único que veo en contra es por que el precio aumenta en cascos más pequeños ya que la diferencia de precio es de aprox. $250 mx más en el talla S/M.por otra parte me encantaron.

Tal vez me salvó la vida
Primer día usándolo y un automóvil me arrojó contra la banqueta, mi cabeza impacyó directamente en el concreto, de no ser por el casco quizá no estaría dando mi opinión.
