I love my new helmet. It's a great product at a great price. I got my new helmet in two days, which is awesome! It was exactly what I wanted and Zappos.com was the best price and free shipping.

This is a lightweight helmet. The sweat liner creates a comfortable fit. The appearance and styling are great in comparison to others and it's sold at an appropriate price.

We live in the south where it is very hot in the summers. I am looking forward to seeing if this helmet's sweatsaver liner really works! My son loves the style and fit.

I bought this helmet for my son. This is the second "Triple Eight Brainsaver" helmet he has had and he loves them! Make sure you get the one with the Sweatsaver Liner. Zappos had the best price and the helmet was received very fast. Would definitely recommend the helmet and getting it from Zappos!

I have not actually tested it with impact, but this is a great helmet so far. Fit is tighter than suggested, I had to move from an L to XL.

Bought this helmet for my 14 yr old son. He uses it all the time. Great quality.

I really like my Triple 8 helmet. It is super light, the sweat saver really works, and the helmet looks good. My coworkers like to throw things at my helmet as I am leaving to skate for lunch hour; it works!

This Triple Eight Brainsaver helmet is the first skate helmet I've owned, having worn bicycle helmets all my life. What an improvement! It feels much more secure with better coverage. My head measures at the top of size medium scale, and the snug fit is perfect. It's lightweight, comfortable, and cool enough for a Texas summer. The slim profile looks really awesome without that weird mushroom look you get with bulky helmets. Putting on this helmet instills confidence, and makes me feel a whole lot safer knowing if an accident does happen, my most important asset is well protected. This Tiriple Eight Brainsaver is a great investment. Make sure you get the newer version with the sweat wicking (sweatsaver) liner, or you could always upgrade and purchase the liner separately later. I chose the multi-impact design instead of the CPSC for long-term resiliency instead of crumple foam padding.

Keeps the noggin safe. Comfortable for long sessions. And keeps the noggin safe. Can't go wrong here.

Got the smaller one first - but turned out my 6 year old's head is MD size. So, just be aware they run a little small. But overall great, sturdy, and nice design - especially for fashion conscious kids.

Not really sure about what the most common head injuries are by bike versus skating, but apparently, there are different concerns since the helmets for each activity have different padding inside. I was looking for a helmet for rollerblading. I went with one from Triple 8 that's also qualified for biking just because I liked the padding better. This one seems alright for front/back/side impacts but not really great for impacts to the top of the head. Getting hit on the top of the head may not be common, but I still feel better with the bike helmet. The thing about the bike helmet is that it is bigger than this helmet because of the different padding. And it may make you feel like Darth Helmet.

Awesome helmet. My kids will not wear anything else. This helmet looks great and the fit is very comfortable for them. The seat saver liner works great especially during the hot summers!

This is a great helmet for toddlers. My two year old loves having a helmet that looks like his older brother's. The fit is great and the padding is great. The sweat liner is awesome.

After a constant battle with my 15 year old son to wear a helmet when skateboarding, he finally agreed when he saw this one on-line. The helmet arrived on a Thursday and on Saturday he was boarding with a group of friends. He unfortunately, fell hard going down a hill. He broke his ankle and his wrist, had cuts that required stitches, but his head was fine! He had hit the back of his head first where there are lots of scratches on the helmet, but it didn't crack and thankfully, neither did his head. Best purchase I've made in a long time!!

This is the first skate helmet that I felt like I didn't look like I was wearing a donkey helmet with. It's very comfortable and has a nice design.

Came in completely fine and quickly, feels a little awkward on the ears though (I blame my large dome).

This helmet is very well constructed and the fact that my son actually likes to wear it when he goes skateboarding makes it perfect! He is 16 and he thinks it looks so cool! Another plus for me is that he wore it when we went on a ski trip for snowboarding!

My son got this helmet for Christmas. The price was competitive, shipping super-fast, as always and the sizing chart was spot-on. He (11 years old)says it's very comfortable and thinks he looks cool wearing it.

This item was a gift to my daughter and she was delighted with it. She told me it covered everything she needed in a helmet.

I'm in love with this helmet! It is excellent for roller derby and doesn't make your hair itch like some helmets can if you've been sweating in it for a bit. It has a cool rubberized texture on the outside and you can put stickers on it if you wish. It is super soft on the inside and is comfortable to wear for even a few hours. Unfortunately, this helmet was sent to me in the wrong color the first time but Zappos took care of that for me overnight and I had the correct helmet on my doorstep the next day! Also, Zappos credited my account because of the mistake so it was like buying a helmet and getting my wrist guards for free. This was the first time I have received the wrong item from Zappos but was not the first time Zappos customer service has given me a credit on my account. Once it was just because they did not have an item I wanted to buy in stock. Overall could not be happier with Zappos.

Working great so far. Actually using this for wakeboarding although it is not a wake helmet. No huge crashes so far, but the fit is great. The sweatsaver thing soaks up the water like a sponge and takes a little bit to dry, but it isn't a water helmet so this is understandable. Only had it for a month or so and have only used it a handful of times, but love it so far. The fit is right on the money for my dome.

This helmet is so awesome! It is comfortable and the liner is really soft not scratchy. And you can't go wrong buying from Zappos.

Love the look of this helmet. Extremely light. Built well. However, the cutouts for the ears are very low and it's uncomfortable on my ears. Sad to send it back.
