Triple Eight Sweatsaver Liner Skateboarding Helmet

NOTE: If you have a moderately large head, this helmet will NOT fit you. It fits snugly even on a person with a medium-small head. This review is written with that in mind. Please beware when buying this, that if you have a somewhat larger head, this may not be the helmet for you. This helmet feels safe and secure, and my head feels protected and comfortable. I use it as a biking helmet even though it's of a design mor geared toward skaters. I think biking helmets look dorky, so I went with this. The outside is a soft-touch rubber/silicon feeling material that is really nice and fun to touch. I'm very happy with my purchase. It feels solid and secure.

LOVE THIS! My son got a balance bike from Santa this year, and received this awesome helmet (and the Strider knee/elbow pad set) to go along with it. It is SUPER comfy (he actually asks for it, WOW!), and fits him like a glove! We purchased a Small for our son. He is a VERY large (over 100% in height), and nearly three (in March). His head measures about 21" around. I realize this isn't intended for balance-bike riding; however, I believe it will be well suited for the job. Our son rides in a safe circle-type drive, and soon will be riding at a dirt bike park, so no real chance of collisions with cars etc.. His uncle uses this very helmet for long boarding with great success.

Why 5 Stars: Comfortable; Fits Snug; Light Weight; Looks great The Triple Eight is a great helmet. Ordered this to wear while skateboarding. Once on, it's like I don't even know it's there. I wear Rayband eyeglasses and they have thick ear frames, yet they fit right in with the helmet on and are comfortable. They lining they use is what makes the difference. I would highly recommend this helmet.

I love this helmet because, unlike other helmets, it is easier to find the right size. My 3 year old has a very large head, not fitting into any "toddler" or "child" helmets but adult helmets are too big. The different sizes of this helmet made it so that I could find just the right fit for him. Further, the helmet is recommended as a very safe helmet for high impact, along with use for skating or biking so it is very versatile. Also, I love that the bright yellow color lets pedestrians and motorists see him coming right away when he rides his scooter down the sidewalk/crosses the street; I view this as an additional safety feature.

Ok

I ordered this for my 5 year old’s birthday as he is just getting into skating. The helmet itself is great, comfortable, and well made. It’s a little deep for a small child though and it bends his ears down or they have to be tucked into the padding. He does have a rather small head though. It fits my 8 year old great, even a little snug on him. Would order again.

I have recently got back into skateboarding and was looking for a helmet. I couldn’t find any good helmets on amazon, I found this one not expecting much. It arrived fairly quick. I tried it on and was overwhelmed with comfort and nice snug fit. I took it for a ride and it kept my head very ventilated and cool on my head. I would recommend this helmet from beginner to expert. Well worth the money.

I’m a petite Asian female and my head measures 56cm (right between medium and large), I got a medium. First try it felt tight and seemed like a lot of pressure on my forehead, but after wearing it for about half an hour while skateboarding I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. I think it fits just right. I got a large as well which I returned because it looks a lot bigger but feels the same on the head tightness wise (but heavier). I’m a casual beginner skateboarder so I think the amount of protection is sufficient for me. Most certified helmets are spaceballs like so I probably would just not wear it every time out of self-awareness but this one is light and looks pretty nice so I plan to wear it when every time I go skateboarding. Cons: you can’t wear high pony tail with this helmet. If it’s very low it’s possible.
