S-One Helmets Are The Best Skateboard Helmets Available That Will Actually Protect Your Head

I grew up in a generation where only vert skaters were seen wearing helmets. As I’ve gotten older and have hit my head several times where it scared me, I think it’s important for everyone to invest in a decent helmet. Not all helmets are created equal and if you are going to fork out the cash, you might as well purchase a helmet that actually works and protects your head from severe injury. In my opinion S-One helmets is a cool company. They have cool helmet designs as you can see with the “Misfits” helmet above and they have some cool riders wearing their helmets. There is a stigma surrounding helmets and street skating and I don’t know if that will ever go away. In some cases, kids are made to wear helmets at skateparks and I am all for that. I mean, if everyone is wearing one it doesn’t matter, no big deal. I am embarrassed to say that even I as an adult who’s almost 40 years of age even have trouble wearing a helmet around skaters who are not…even in my 30s I have been made fun of for wearing a helmet. It sucks that there are people out there who don’t respect it and will crack jokes just to make you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes you just have to take a stand and figure out what is more important…what people think of you or your life. Whenever I was going to try a maneuver that I thought was more dangerous or when I was going to skate terrain like a swimming pool that is obviously more dangerous, I would wear my helmet, but the truth is, you should wear a helmet at all times when riding a skateboard because you never know when something is going to go wrong. I broke my foot doing the smallest trick only a foot off the ground! So invest in a good helmet…check out the video below to see why S-One is who I recommend for protecting your noggin!   I personally have a white S-One helmet, because the white reflects the sun nicely and keeps my noggin cool! 🙂 You can check the reasonable prices on this helmet at the Amazon links below if you are interested in purchasing this helmet.  I’ve just listed some of the popular choices but there are more if you search Amazon’s site.

Helpful Tips from S-One Helmets on How to Measure your Head To Get The Best Fitting Helmet

Measuring your head is very helpful to figure out what size Lifer Helmet you will need. It is easiest to do this with a soft measuring tape but if you do not have one you can use a string or a cell phone charging cable and then measure that against a ruler or hard measuring tape. You need to measure your heads circumference and will want to wrap the measuring tape starting in the middle of your forehead and just above your eye brows, then around your head above your ears and back around your head to the middle of your forehead where you started. Put simply you want to measure your head where your hat would normally sit or where you would imagine the helmet to fit on your head just above your eye brows.  Once you get your measurement compare it to the sizing charts on the individual Lifer Helmet product pages to see which Lifer will fit you.

If your head measures 18.5 – 20.5″ check out the S1 Mini Lifer Helmet.

If your head measures 20.5″ – 23.5″ check out the S1 Lifer Helmet

If your head measures 23.” – 25.5″ check out the S1 Mega Lifer Helmet.

And if you are ordering a helmet for someone as a gift it is always a good idea to order a FIT ALL KIT to help the helmet fit perfectly. The Fit All Kit comes with 7 different sizing liners of varying thickness.
