Skate Helmets by Category

Skate helmets are a must when inline skating. There are four main pieces of protective gear for inline safety, and we wear them all when we go skate. Wearing your skate helmet and skate pads will eliminate most injuries and make your inline skating experience way safer and more enjoyable. The most common question asked regarding helmets and skating is whether a bike helmet is suitable for use when skating. The answer is yes but you should keep in mind that its design is different than a skating helmet in respect to how far it comes down towards the base of the skull. Falling backward on a bicycle is far less likely, thus the reason for the design difference. When wearing a helmet, the chin strap should be positioned snugly around your chin. A loose or improperly fitting helmet (not snug on your head) may slip off during a fall. This may result in a more severe injury because your instinct will be to grab your helmet rather than brace for your fall. Not to mention your head will be exposed to injury. An improperly fitting helmet defeats the purpose of wearing one, so be sure it is on correctly. Please be sure to always wear a skate helmet while on your skates.
