ProTec Skateboard Helmets and ProTec Bike/Skate Helmets

ProTec helmets range from Protec skate helmets for skateboarding, roller blading, or derby to a fullface ProTec skateboard helmet for aggressive vert skateboarders, to a dual-certified Pro-tec helmet for skate and bike use.

ProTec skate helmets protect the tops, sides, and back of your head and, for most skates, a ProTec skateboard helmet will provide just the right level of helmet safety. Pro-Tec skate helmets have a comfortable soft foam lining and are designed to absorb multiple small impacts.

If you need a mountain bike helmet or BMX helmet AND a skate helmet, check out a ProTec bike/skate helmet. This type of ProTec helmet is also certified to meet CPSC bicycle helmet safety certifications, allowing you to enjoy two sports with the same piece of safety equipment.

XSportsProtective provides you with fast and friendly customer service, along with top quality ProTec skateboard helmets and ProTec bike/skate helmets.

Not sure which ProTec helmet to buy?

ProTec helmets are made with one of three different kinds of liners—2-stage soft foam, stiff expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, or surface-activated expanded polypropylene (SXP). Each Pro-Tec helmet liner is designed to cushion your head in the event of an impact. However, each type of liner is best suited for a particular kind of impact. The 2-stage liner is designed to withstand multiple small impacts, such as you might get at the skate park. The EPS liner is designed to protect you in the event of a major collision, such as a bicycle crash. Pro-Tec’s patented SXP is a high-grade multi-impact liner designed to protect even the most aggressive riders.

ProTec Helmet Liners
2-stage	EPS	SXP
Soft foam liner designed for skate helmets only	Stiff foam designed for bike/skate helmets; single impact	Surface-activated polypropylene designed for bike/skate helmets; multi-impact

If you only need a skate helmet, check out a ProTec skateboard helmet—the ProTec Classic Skate, Bucky Lasek Classic, Classic Full Cut Skate, B2 Skate, and Ace Skate helmets. Each of these skateboarding helmets features ProTec’s soft 2-stage foam liner. This softer liner is generally considered more comfortable than the stiffer EPS liner in the Pro-Tec bike/skate helmets. However, Pro-Tec skate helmets with a 2-stage liner do NOT carry a specific safety certification (which is not unusual for skate helmets). So if you want your skateboard helmet to do double duty as a BMX helmet or mountain bike helmet, you should go for one with an EPS liner or an SXP liner (i.e., a bike/skate helmet).

Pro-Tec bike/skate helmets have either an expanded polystyrene (EPS) or surface-activated expanded polypropylene (SXP) liner. The Classic bike/skate helmet (sometimes just called “The Classic”), ProTec Cyphon helmet, ProTec Shovelhead 2 helmet, and ProTec Riot Street helmet all have an EPS foam liner that meets CPSC bicycle helmet safety certifications. EPS foam liners are the industry standard for action sport helmets; however, they are not multi-impact. EPS liners offer higher levels of impact protection than the 2-stage foam liner, however, they can "lose" their maximum protective abilities after sustaining a collision because the stiff foam lining condenses upon impact and does not pop back to its original shape.

If you’re looking for a multi-impact helmet that you can use as both a skateboarding helmet and mountain bike helmet or BMX helmet, ProTec Ace bike/skate helmets and ProTec B2 bike/skate helmets feature multi-impact SXP liners. This light but stiff liner is a good choice for aggressive active sports enthusiasts because it attempts to merge the benefits of ProTec’s 2-stage liner and EPS foam liner: Protective abilities designed to rebound after an impact without condensing permanently, potentially allowing for protection even after an impact.

The company’s product line includes skate helmets, bike/skate helmets, mountain bike helmets, gloves, upper body armor, knee and elbow pads, shin and ankle guards, and helmet liners.
