ProTec Helmet review 2022 certified vs standard, how they fit👍

[@RikRiorik]

Second helmet makes you look like you’re ready to be fired out of a cannon and I mean that as a compliment. 🔥

[@ProdigalSuns]

Awesome 👌

[@skatefreak93]

Haha confidence through the roof. Really good representation of how the helmets fit. Thanks.

[@jacob-spring]

I love that there's more focus on that helmets are ok. If Prodigal Suns can wear it, if Andy can wear it and if Mike V can wear it, so can you.

[@ProdigalSuns]

Wow, love your comment even too be mentioned by those name.. 😆

[@essenceofemerald]

Eeek I have a green one coming in at the end of the week (uncertified), I always felt like certified helmets feel like cheap rental helmets, I LOVE the padding on my Lasek and being able to take it out and wash it. Let alone , mix the padding for a perfect fit. Cheers on the great vid!

[@markomarelja7784]

Thanks! The tip for the oval narrow head is worth in gold!

[@christianschaller7873]

I recently bought two Mystic Shiznit kitesurfing helmets, one in matte black and the other in "sea salt green" (just went on sale). The helmets are certified, but only approved for watersports (CE EN 1385 CLASS I / IV). They have a hard shell made of high-strength thermoplastic and fit very well, I have no doubt they will protect my head. Unfortunately they don't have good air ventilation and are about as heavy as a TSG evolution (>1lb), but hey.. at least they look rad, hehe. I don't live in a very hot climate anyway and you get used to the weight pretty quickly.

I picked up a non ce skate helmet for skating and loved the fit not mention the comfortability but decided to return it for a certified helmet which isn't as comfortable but still looks good :)

[@GoogleUserGoogle1]

Duude you totally sold me on the non certified helmet. Definitely gonna buy. Hate my current helmet (huge and bulky)

[@mackm3875]

I have a New Deal ProTec certified and I love it. Fits proper and I feel much safer than I did in my old non-cert lid

[@MaalysWorld125]

Every time you put the second one on your eyes and your swag turns up to maximum stoked 🤙🏾 i just got a Pro-Tec water certificated helmet. It’s the Mark Jacobson signature pro model. Do you think it will be ok to longboard with it. I’m keeping it under 40mph. I’m only up to 25mph right now.

[@ras0ne]

The main difference in the sizes is the foam. For instance, the only difference between a small and large helmet is the foam, they essentially have the same size shell. So for a more customized fit, you may have to mix match foam.

[@ProdigalSuns]

The main difference is the cooler they aren't as comfortable. I have 2 of each. It's hard to wear my certified helmets

[@scstinger5]

I’ve been using certified helmets for about 10 years now, for both skateboarding and mountain biking. I believe the certified helmets have saved me several times, but I’m going back to soft-foam / non-certified helmets. As I’m sick of a horrible fitting, top heavy, hot, and just dorky looking helmets lol! Any helmet is better than no helmet

[@Esk8Tuga]

nice mustache....thanks for your reviews

[@ProdigalSuns]

@@Esk8Tuga thank you

[@steveb6174]

Hey. Great 'real-life' guide video. Could I please ask you, though understand if you don't want to, lemme know your actual head measurement? I'm having trouble finding a lid for my big head so knowing what size your head is would be a great help, cheers.

[@matts4025]

Hey man I'm not even a pad guy really, never have been, just getting back into skating after a 6 year hiatus at 32 and I think it looks sharp! I've got a skinny small head and it's gonna look STUPID on me

[@ProdigalSuns]

I hear ya, it's really not smart to not wear one though. Be smart 👍

[@matts4025]

Great choice, keep the urethane down my friend👍 lol

[@earlysbitsstillearly8373]

Nice review buddy! 👌💯💯💯

[@tyroberts5435]

what i hate is i love my uncertifide helmet it fits great it doesn't move love how it looks 0on me, its the same as your second one just in black but I know the certified one is good and more protective but I bought one and it moves around to much and it makes my head feel really big.

[@ProdigalSuns]

Exactly 💯

[@comdrive3865]

8:00 yes

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

I have to ask, why go strapless? I wear mine pretty loose I don't notice it at all. Almost feel like the strap hanging would distract me. Definitely interested in these helmets and it has me rethinking what I wear so I appreciate the videos.

[@ProdigalSuns]

I dont like the strap at all.. I want to take my helmet off after every run. That's why I liked about the orange helmet it never got sweaty.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@ProdigalSuns I can see that

[@carlossantillan6085]

whats your head size dude, i am 60cm which is max fo a large and min for XL, i tried the large and fot ok, but maybe the xl fits better as in more forehead coverage as you said... thanks

[@ProdigalSuns]

I have a round head people who have a head that's more oval shaped have to go up a size. Or maybe try a different brand. My wife and one of my sons have to go up a dose in this helmet. Hope this helps

[@bfaleimu]

Are there different shell sizes for the non certified helmet, or is it just different foam sizes to accommodate one shell? Thanks!

[@OliverS1nani]

How does it compare to the S1 lifer?

[@ProdigalSuns]

These fit my head perfect. I think it looks better to. Head must be round other wise get a different brand..

[@SuperBmpk]

does it feel hot when use it during summer?

[@ProdigalSuns]

No, but i take my helmet off between runs.

[@skater_scott]

I think Hosoi wears the white one.

[@enerian4525]

you guys think its super necessary to have a helmet with ear protection? i guess its much hotter in the summer..

[@ProdigalSuns]

No not necessary at all.

Hospital bill is wayyyyyyy more than 80$

[@njd2204]

My partner got a certified helmet and had the same experience of it looking like a mushroom, it must protect your head better at the cost of looking like a Mario cart character

[@MrsRealistic]

We laughed at this because we had just said the helmets make us look like Toad from Mario Kart 😂😂😂

[@ProdigalSuns]

Haha, so funny 😁

[@tylerd8609]

It’s a nice color, but i hate how it’s uncertified

[@ProdigalSuns]

It's still way more protective then not wearing a helmet. Way more comfortable to me. I have a bunch of certified that I never wear because of how they fit and look.

[@palleh7742]

Didn't you look att Triple eights dubble certified and their Mips version?,they can't be that expensive when they are US made.Here in Sweden is the price around 30-40% higher.

[@ProdigalSuns]

I didn't even look.. I kinda like the full cut look of the protec helmets.

[@palleh7742]

@@ProdigalSuns Yes that's the most important that you are satisfied with your purchase, I'm looking forward to another review later on.👍😏

[@crackin2000]

I like to use my baseball helmet no strap stays on and takes a good smack once in a while. Though I don't have kids. I like a brim on a helmet.

[@davepoplin]

oh! you did review this helmet! duhhhh. thanks

[@ProdigalSuns]

I've got about a 1,000 vids.. I love that helmet

[@pxtixntzero7127]

Whats the hardest slam you think you could take with an uncertified helmet? Like im bouta practice dropping in on a 5 ft concrete quarterpipe. You think if i whip my head slipping out id be f'd with an un certified?

[@ProdigalSuns]

From my own experience yes. I think I'm fine. To me certified aren't comfortable to wear so I might not wear it. I wear the other helmet. So it's safe for me.
