Guide Review - Pro-Tec B2 Skateboarding Helmet Review
The comfort of the Pro-Tec B2 skate helmet comes from the changeable padded liner and intuitive shape of the helmet. The Pro-Tec B2 holds onto the head well. The B2 helmet also comes in four sizes - Small, Medium, Large and ExLarge. It's nice to see a helmet company make a helmet dedicated to sizes, and with a true "ExLarge" size. Personally, I have a hard time finding skate helmets that fit, and I like this about the Pro-Tec B2.
The Pro-Tec B2 skate helmet is also safe - CPSC certified, and improved with Pro-Tec's SXP technology. SXP multiple impact technology means that when the helmet suffers from an impact, the foam inside will spring back to its original shape. With regular helmets, the padding inside the helmet absorbs impact and then stays compressed, making the helmet dangerous for future impacts. SXP technology makes Pro-Tec skateboarding helmets safer, and they last longer because they don't need to be replaced as often.
Pro-Tec B2 skateboarding helmets also look cool. The old school rounded style looks great, and the colors available are pretty sick. You should be able to find one that you like, especially with the Pro-Tec B2 helmets being keyed to pros. If you have to wear a helmet, you might as well look cool - try the Pro-Tec B2.
