Roller Derby HelmetsThe consequences of a head injury make a getting a roller derby helmet your first priority. Derby girls (and officials) fall a lot, especially as you learn new moves and compete.

Get yourself a good quality roller derby helmet. Make sure it fits well, feels good, and looks good. Then, WEAR IT! We offer two "types" of roller derby helmets that will help to protect your head and all of the stuff inside of it. They are classified by having either a soft foam liner or a hard foam liner. The type you choose is based on personal preference and what activities you will be doing while you are wearing your helmet. Soft foam (or skate ONLY) helmets have a plush interior liner and intended to protect against multiple, low-force impacts, commonly associated with sports like roller derby, inline skating and skateboarding. "Soft foam" roller derby helmets may or may not be skate certified. Hard foam (or bike/skate) helmets have a stiff EPS foam liner, like that of a traditional bike helmet. They are mainly intended to sustain one large impact. All hard foam helmets with an EPS liner are CPSC certified for bike use! They can also be used while doing other activities, such as roller derby, skateboarding or inline skating. |
