Skate Helmet Info For Parents: Part 1

Skate Helmet Information: Part 1

What is the Difference Between A CPSC Certified Helmet and a Soft Foam Helmet?

As a helmet manufacturer we want to make sure that parents understand the difference between the CPSC Certified Helmets and the Non-Certified Helmets. We make both kinds of helmets but we want parents and skaters to know that a helmet that is CPSC Certified is up to 5 x more protective than a helmet that is Not Certified (ie: soft foam, does not have a CPSC sticker). 

CPSC Certified helmets are much, much more protective than the Non-CPSC helmets. 

S-One strongly recommends that all skaters regardless of age or skill wear a CPSC Certified helmet.

We recommend the S-One Lifer Helmet to all skaters for best overall protection and fit. We don't want to sound preachy but if you are going to wear a helmet you might as well wear one that will protect your head the best!  

If you have any questions about helmet fit, sizing or certifications call or email a skate helmet expert at S-One Helmet Co. (Tel: 310-464-8179  / Email: Info@S-One.Com)
