Important Background Info on Different ProTec Helmet ModelsProTec makes three different skate and bike helmets models: the ProTec Classic, the ProTec Ace, and the ProTec B2. Each of these helmet models comes with one of two liners; either a 2-stage soft foam liner intended for skate use only (see Photo A above) or a stiff foam liner bonded to the shell that is approved for bike and/or skate use (see Photo B above). The outer shell of each helmet version is virtually identical; the difference is in the inside liner material.
ProTec "Skate" Helmet LinersThe "skate only" ProTec helmets are the ProTec Classic Skate Helmet, the ProTec Ace Skate Helmet, and the ProTec B2 Skate. (Note that the item names say "Skate.") The skate versions of the ProTec helmets have a 2-stage soft foam liner that Velcros into the hard outer shell (see Photo A above). The skate replacement liner replaces the entire 2-stage foam liner. The replacement liners on this page are for this skate version of the helmets. They are specifically sized for S, M, L and XL helmets.
ProTec "Bike/Skate" Helmet LinersIf your helmet has the stiff foam liner inside (see Photo B above), it is NOT THE SKATE VERSION; it is the bike/skate version of the helmet with either the EPS or SXP liner. The replacement liners on this page will not fit. The bike/skate replacement liners are small foam pads for comfort that Velcro onto the stiff protective foam liner. Please see the
ProTec Helmet Replacement Liners for bike/skate helmets for the correct liner for your helmet.
Not Sure What ProTec Helmet You Have? If you're not sure what ProTec Helmet model and size you have, look inside the helmet for a white sticker. It will have the helmet model and size printed on it.
Why Replace the Liner in the First Place?Mostly due to excessive stink! After a while, your helmet may begin to smell quite awful, so replacing the liner is one way to freshen it up and make it feel newer. Sometimes the interior liner gets torn up or lost, so replacing it is a lot cheaper than buying a whole new helmet.
When it comes to crash replacement, it's important to know that if the outer shell of the helmet has any visible damage, the manufacturer recommends replacing the entire helmet. Replacing the interior liner will not improve the protective qualities of a damaged helmet.
