    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Helmet For A Beginner Skateboarder - Do Yourself A Favor And Size Up!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2021
    So I just started skateboarding this week and wanted to get a reputable and safe helmet to protect myself just in case. Per Google and Amazon, the top choices for helmets were this one (Triple Eight) and another one by OutdoorMaster. Although the comment sections for both helmets are plenty they, unfortunately, didn't help me much.

    I found a measuring tape and measured my head around and at a little bit of an angle per the instructions (57cm around with my hair down). The sizing information stated I would fit right at the beginning of the L/XL helmet size. I was really nervous due to my hair and how other comments stated the helmet fit snug with not much breathing room. Granted helmets should be a bit snug for safety but you also don't want to get headaches. I live in Arizona and it gets HOT here - I need my helmet to move around a little bit since I know I'll be working up a sweat in this.

    I went ahead and ordered both the OutdoorMaster and Triple Eight helmets - 2 helmets each per brand. I didn't end up going with the OutdoorMaster helmets due to size, comfort, and profile. (I'll post my review of their helmets on their Amazon item page.) Triple Eight helmets are actually worn by well-known skaters - no joke - you can see Tony Hawk wear their helmets on Youtube and other skaters on Instagram.

    I ordered the L/XL and XL/XXL helmets. With a 57cm measurement, I tried the L/XL first and it was SNUG with NO breathing room. This is the helmet that should have allowed me a 3cm gap with the max in this size being a 60cm head but it was solid. If I wasn't too worried about the heat here and maybe more concerned or falling I might have kept this one but it just didn't feel right. The helmets come with extra thicker padding for the inside if the consumer needs it - I can tell you, my head would not fit in the helmet if I used those. Then I tried on the XL/XXL helmet and it was like night and day! It fit really well, not too loose, and I had room to move my hair around if need be. If I wanted to use the thicker padding later on I would have some room for it if I wanted to use those instead.

    I am really happy with the XL/XXL size helmet with a 57cm measured head. I highly recommend sizing up in purchasing one of these or buying 2 sizes as I did to test them out yourself. The helmets themselves are sturdy, comfortable, and feel well made. The "sweat" liners are easily removable and can be washed on delicate. I am happy with this purchase and will be recommending Triple Eight to all new riders I know.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well, looks great, keeps the sweat off - and is dual certified!

    We originally bought a regular Triple 8 sweatsaver helmet from a skate shop not realizing it wasn't certified. Since we plan on using it on busy roads, we wanted a certified helmet. So we bought this one as a replacment.

    The certified sweatsaver helmet fits better than the original sweatsaver (more sizeable with 2 sets of pads included), and the dual certification gives us peace of mind for our intended usage. We were right between 2 sizes, so we sized up since the helmet comes with two sets of pads. The original, thinner pads fit well. The helmet doesn't ride high on the head like some certified multi-sport/skate helmets - in fact, from the outside it looks exactly like the non-certified sweatsaver helmet.

    Having tested it out unintentionally, it definitely has more protection and comfort than the non-certified version, at least for blows to the top of the head. ;)

    The washable sweatsaver pads definitely keep the sweat out of your eyes and add a nice pop of contrasting color to the helmet as well as some extra cushioning - making the helmet more comfortable than thinner standard helmet pads.

    Overall, this is a really good helmet - comfortable, stylish, sweat-catching, and dual certified - from a good brand for a reasonable price!

    This is my 2nd triple 8 helmet and it's still great! I wish the logo was just white or black on the back. I was surprised when it was red. But it is comfortable and adjustable to fit medium or small sizes. I recomend!

    These Tony Hawk brand helmets are amazing they're completely safe and go above and beyond the standard/s of what is recommended for a safety helmet. I had just upgraded, purchased a brand new e-bike in March and this e-bike goes fast, it is not a cheap, thin metal/aluminum, unsafe ride; it is definitely powerful and I did not take into consideration that I had just moved to a new city that is not very like friendly or attentive to bicyclers.
    I was hit by a car on Juneteenth this year, I was not wearing a helmet, I had never purchased a helmet or worn one and I'm 31. I rode bikes snowboarded roller blades, and never feared falling and hurting myself or my head.
    I am so lucky and thankful that I did not get my head severely injured. My ribs, hip, leg, and a few other parts of my body were/are injured.
    I purchased this helmet and I am thankful that I did, I was good night e-bike about 20 miles to a different town and literally just sitting at a stoplight I lost my balance and fell off my e-bike hit my head and I did not feel a thing my helmet was a little scratched but not to the point where you could visably notice it. Embarrassing I know.
    All these helmets are extremely attractive and not just that they don't make your head look really big or like a mushroom they have so much air so your head doesn't get hot and sweaty, along with the adjusters that come with it, you can take them out you can wash them you can adjust the helmet with a different sizes that it comes with it so it's comfortable on your head. The straps are very comfortable and I found it helpful as I never worn a helmet before to watch the video so I knew how to put the helmet on and adjust it so that it was correctly fitted to my head. I will never ride my e-bike or snowboard again without a helmet. Helmets save lives.

    Never had a skate helmet before but I looked around and tried on a few. This not only felt the most secure but looked the best and had a reasonable price for the quality. I use it for one wheeling and feel much more confident in this than in my old bike helmet which doesn't even cover the back of my head, nor is as secure. I'll prolly attatch a headlamp to this as well for my night rides. Great helmet, and it looks edgy but not over the top.
