Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure for the right helmet size?
Wrap a tape measure around your forehead, just above your eyebrows, for head circumference. Match it to the product's size chart—most offer adjustable dials for fine-tuning.
Are these helmets certified for multiple sports?
Yes, many like the Triple Eight and 80Six carry dual certifications (CPSC for biking, ASTM for skating), making them versatile for bike, skateboard, and scooter use.
What's the difference between adult and kids helmets?
Kids' models prioritize growing heads with extended size ranges (ages 2-14), fun designs, and softer padding, while adult versions focus on larger fits and advanced features like MIPS.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Replace after any impact, or every 3-5 years, as materials degrade over time. Check for cracks or loose straps regularly.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
