I play roller derby, and this helmet has saved me from several injuries. I was able to go to a local skatepark shop, and try on the helmets to see which one would fit. According to the Protec sizing, I would be a medium, but when I tried on the helmets, the large fit exactly the way I need it to; snug, but not tight. Keep that in mind when purchasing a helmet online. Otherwise a sound investment, and a fantastic purchase. I love this helmet.

Yeah! I ordered a Large adult Punk pink! It's awesome! It's well ventilated and light weight, but definitely offers tons of protection (ok, not that I've fallen on my head lately, but it's got a good protection vibe). Also a bonus, the extra bright color is nice because it is easy to see for motorists. I thought the pink might be too much, but it really isn't... honestly even without the bright color it's already kind of garish, it's a skate helmet for crying out loud. Add in the punk pink color and we bring it to wonderful new levels of ridiculous fabulous, fashionably questionable FUN! Love it, wouldn't change a thing. I found the company size chart to be accurate. I was borderline between a Large and an XL. My husband has an XL (black, not fab pink) so I tried it on. It fit fine, but I wanted a snugger fit so I got the large and it is perfecto.

I need a size 7 3/4-8 1/4 hat. I assumed that the XL would be good. It fit pretty tight. I took out the padding and stuck them under a couple 45 lb weights for a few hours and it fit perfectly.

Looks good and protects my noggin.

I've been involved in bike dirt jumping/street riding/freestyle since 1996. I've tried other helmets and Protec has always been my favorite. I got out of riding for a couple of years and recently got into mountain biking, so again I found myself needing a helmet. I tried another cheaper brand hoping to save a few dollars and got disappointed. I ended up ordering a new Protec and, as usual, am totally happy with it. Based off of my head measurement (57cm) I ordered a Large and it fits perfectly. It may fit a little tight if your head is any bigger than that.

I bought this helmet for my wife. The helmet looks awesome, it looks very quality and from handling it, it seems to be excellent quality, however the size is definitely meant for children. Based on the sizing chart from the manufacturers website (for adult helmets), my wife needed a small. So, we ordered a small. When it arrived she tried it on and it was way too small. My 11 year old daughter tried it on and it was even to small for her. It fit my 8 year old son the best, but it was pink so we opted to send it back instead of making him wear a pink helmet. We're going to order another, however this time we'll be ordering a large.

I wear a 17 3/4" hat and the XL fit my head perfectly. This helmet is strong and not bulky like some other helmets I have tried. I use it for bike riding and it keep my head relatively cool.

This helmet is extremely comfortable and fits fantastic. I can't wait to wear it in the rink! I recommend this product and would purchase it again.

Long story short, crashed on my longboard going down hill at approximately 25-30 mph, broke a few bones, but this helmet saved my life. Fits well & looks good.

I needed to replace my old Giro MTB helmet. Since I live in Malaysia and I couldn't find a decent helmet from any local retailers, I ordered two L-size helmets from Amazon, one by Giro and the other by Protec. The Giro helmet came with adjustment helmet, so it fits perfectly; however, the Protec helmet only came with one set of padding inside, and it was a bit small for my head. I love the design (black base with red Devil), and no point returning it; so I will just give it to my nephew. For this particular Protec helmet, I recommend that get one size bigger than what you normally wear and adjust fitting with extra padding, if necessary.

I had a pro-tec helmet few years ago, it was stolen. Because I loved it, I decided to buy another one. I like its shape, color and quality; personal taste I guess. The only minor thing is the size, unless my head has grown in this last years, the helmet is a bit tight. It is still my size but the cushions inside are too thick. Since it is not a big deal (it is still my size - medium) I'm just trying to remember if I had the same feeling with the previous one but I simply forgot about it. I still love it.
