I really like this helmet. I have already taken a few hard hits and it is going strong. I ride bmx and regularly hit 6' tall jumps. Protec has always been the helmet that I trust. I have received several concussions from tricks gone bad, but if I hadn't been wearing a helmet, it would have been a lot worse. The thing about the Protec classic skate helmet is the sizing. My head measures 23.2" around, which is the minimum in the xl size range, but the helmet is still relatively loose. The helmet stays on my head, but I would have preferred a slightly tighter fit. I also tried the large version of this same helmet, and it was way to tight. So if you are somewhere in between the size increments, the helmet won't fit perfectly. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, the helmet is perfect. And the green is really bright.

I was really excited to receive this helmet so I was quite disappointed to find that it was too small. It's a pretty small helmet so I guess it is an XL for a child because it is definitely not for an adult. The vendor did an excellent job getting this item out to me quickly so I would order from them in the future. Unfortunately, I will have to return this item because of the sizing.

This helmet is awesome. It looks and fits great. I ride BMX and skateboard and that means nasty spills so gotta have a helmet! Comfortable and doesn't squeeze my head like other helmets do. Just one thing, make sure you know what size you take! Re-shipping this can cost you alot of money. No wonder Pro-Tec is the trusted name in helmets. Buy this now!!!

Not into BMX and tricks. More into mountain biking and downhill. Got this helmet for riding around street and trails. I just didn't want those helmets that everyone has (canadian tire mountain bike helmets LOL).
No complaints at all. I thought ventilation would be a problem but it's good enough for pounding on your pedals on trails under the sun. Sizing is good and fits well, I got the XL size. I usually wear 7 1/2 or 7 3/4 hats. Alot of quality and style all for a very good price. Awesome helmet from Pro-tec.

I bought this thinking it was the Pro-Tec "Classic Skate" helmet, it is instead "The Classic" which has hard styrofoam instead of foam on the inside. I am trying to sell it now since Ambient weather makes you pay to ship exchanges. I guess there is a reason it was cheaper, but they should not advertise it as a "Classic Skate" when really it is not.

I needed it to comply with the helmet rule on a USAF installation, and hate the looks of normal pointed bike helmets. Very nice, never fell.

everything went smooth except the fact that in the picture of the helmet I saw when purchasing this helmet from amazon.com, it showed a helmet with the 2 stage foam padding but it didn't come with that kind of padding. Other then that great helmet and service. I Was told that the mess up in picture was amazons mistake not the suppliers (niagra cycle)

Everything about this helmet is great, from the matte color to the way it fits my nephew. He loves it and i make him wear it everytime at the skatepark.

The helmet is pretty good-looking. It is slightly bulkier than the typical non-bmx helmet but more comfortable. I feel like it ventilated fine, but logically it must ventilate a little less than a racing helmet. The only reason it gets 4 and not 5 is that it's bulkier than I imagined.

Great bargain and quality, fit and look are exceptional this is a profesional helmet i am 35 and i can not afford to injure myself when i ride a pool. Buy it if you need it.
