Skateboard helmets are the headgear worn by skaters to protect their heads from injuries. Just like bicycle helmets, they cover the upper portion of the head (not the sides), chin, and the back of the neck. They usually have outer shells made of solid, durable plastic and interiors with soft padding. Most models have small round vents for air circulation.
Skateboard helmets are essential accessories skaters should never do without. Statistics shows that the use of skateboard helmets reduces head injuries and accidents by up to 85%.
