How to choose a skateboard helmet?

A skateboard helmet is a type of protective headgear specifically designed to protect the head of a skateboarder in the event of a fall or collision. Skateboard helmets are made of a hard outer shell usually made of ABS plastic, a foam liner, and a chin strap to secure the helmet in place. You can buy a skateboard helmet from Jobe, Powerslide, Roces, Krf, and Ennui.

Make sure the helmet is certified by a reputable organization such as ASTM, CPSC, or Snell. Look for stickers or labels on the helmet that indicate the certification.
Proper fit: The most important aspect of a skateboard helmet is the fit. A well fitting helmet provides the best protection.
Measure the circumference of your head using a soft measuring tape or a piece of string, and then measure the string with a ruler. The helmet´s sizing chart should help you select the appropriate size.
The helmet should sit level on your head, covering the top of your forehead without tilting backward or forward. The chin strap should be snug but not overly tight. Head shape: Helmets come in different shapes, and it´s essential to choose one that matches your head shape. Some people have round heads, while others have more oval shaped heads. Select a helmet that provides a comfortable and secure fit for your specific head shape.
Ventilation: Ventilation is important for comfort, especially during hot weather. Look for a helmet with adequate ventilation to keep your head cool while riding. Adjustable fit system: Some helmets come with an adjustable fit system that allows you to customize the fit by tightening or loosening the interior padding or straps. This feature helps ensure a secure fit.
Coverage: Skateboarding helmets come in different styles and coverage levels. Full cut helmets provide more coverage and are suitable for all types of skateboarding, including vert and transition skating. Half cut helmets offer less coverage and may be preferred for street and technical skating.
Shell helmet material: Skateboard helmet shells are typically made from materials like ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic, fiberglass, or polycarbonate. These materials provide durability and impact protection. Choose a helmet with a sturdy shell material.
Padding and comfort: Helmets should have comfortable interior padding to cushion your head. The padding should be moisture wicking and removable for cleaning. Chin strap: The chin strap should be secure and adjustable. It´s important to fasten the strap properly to ensure the helmet stays in place during a fall.
Replaceability: Helmets should be replaced after a significant impact or if they show signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or dents. Some helmets have impact indicators that change color upon impact, helping you determine if a replacement is needed.
Always prioritize safety over style when choosing a skateboard helmet. A properly fitting and certified helmet is a crucial piece of protective gear that can reduce the risk of head injuries while skateboarding.
