How do I completely get rid of helmet smell? I was thinking of filling up a 5gl bucket w/water & a small ammount of laundary detergent?
1. top quality
2. Knee pad straps seperating from the pad
3. apply stickers or patches
4. higher tech materials:…
I wear the helmets, but not the pads, I wear the big 187 pads because they are huge and work wonderfully, but the helmets I use for skateboarding and roller derby is Pro-Tec. I like those helmets the best, and I've tried on a lot. Pro-Tex seems to h…
Hey, John H here, 1975 downhill racer, I see that the kids think it is not cool to wear a helmet. But its not cool to die. So what can you do to make it cool. comfort is a big thing as is weight, My own 14 yr old son fights me on this, I hate to say…
1. Can you describe PRO-TEC in a few (3-5) key words, and point out where the brand is different in comparison to other protective gear brands.
Average quality, but very inexpensive. That's awesome to get people who think they can't afford gear into…
1. Protective, comfortable and durable. I have been skateboarding since 1964, and when Protec came out with their first full helmet, it was the premier of all helmets for protection at the time. I was one of the people who also cut the sides off and…
Since I am out here responding to jack's recent blog post about the recent press related to skate accidents, this seems appropriate to respond here too;
1. Cannot, don't own one but I like them and have tried them
2. I split a lid years ago in a po…

Classic helmets, that's about it though.
2. Tell me about your worst experience with protective gear, a…
1. Name I think of first in safety products
2. My worst experience is w/a pair of wristguards that cut my hand. My Pro-Tec helmet has a haze one it.
3. Stickers & signatures on the ol helmet.
4. I see more breathable, lighter gear incorporating newe…
1) Helmets are the most popular. Knee and elbow pads not so much.
2) Had serious knee injury wearing Pro-tec knee pads. have since changed to 187's, I hate the straps on the helmets. They are way too difficult to adust. There's gotta be a better way…
1. Can you describe PRO-TEC in a few (3-5) key words, and point out where the brand is different in comparison to other protective gear brands.
Pads are sub-standard. They don't hold up, or stay put. Vastly inferior to 187 or TSG.
2. Tell me about…
Hi Kevin,
I think for women, looking good while skating and being protected will be very important. Sleek in jeans (with hip/thighpads) for example. MacDavid makes some roller derby and slider shorts that are sleek and offer some protection. To take…
1) I honestly think it is the most popular in the skate category. But I honestly cannot tell the difference between my helmet (which is PRO-TEC) and another.
2) I have a classic skate from you guys. The bads are hella grimy now. Little ventiliation…
1. I don't know enough about Protec or other helmets to judge.
2. Protective gear stiffles the feeling of freedom I get from longboarding, so I only wear it when I am going to go pretty fast.
3. I spray painted my helmet and put stickers and stuff o…
1. Can you describe PRO-TEC in a few (3-5) key words, and point out where the brand is different in comparison to other protective gear brands.
Well-known; dependable; default/generic (i.e.one of the first brands I think of, especially for helmets)…
1. Serious stuff, goodlooking, well made.
2. When elbow- and kneepads don´t stay in place when bailing.
3. I allways have to re-pad the helmets to make them fit properly. To little on the sides, or to much.
4. I hate trends when it comes to safety-g…
