- Lining – Our last line of defense against impact is the helmet’s linings. Such layers primarily absorb external forces hitting the helmet. Linings could be a single piece or a combination of several layers designed to provide optimum protection.
- Ventilation – Unlike driving, we often don’t have a roof and an AC over our head while skating. We deal with the sun and heat during summer. But that’s how outdoor sport works.
- Certification – In skateboarding, we usually see certifications with e-boards. But certificates are also prominent with skating helmets.

Top 10 Skateboard Helmet Reviews
1. JBM Skateboard Helmet
Featuring a classic shape, JBM Skateboard Helmet may not seem that special, but it’s more flexible than expected.
This product makes sure it works for sports other than skateboarding. It suits inline skating, cycling, roller skating, and even scooters. For people engaged in various outdoor activities, this product would benefit them well.
Not only is this helmet versatile in usage, but users too. Such an aspect is possible because of the adjustable strap.
All the skater has to do is adjust the band around the face and below the chin. Doing so will help the helmet fit different head sizes, whether kids, men, or women.
The next feature I like about this low profile skate helmet is its ventilation. On the topmost surface of the shell are seven vent holes paired with two more at the back. And like Bell skateboard helmets, it has an aerodynamic cut near the ear, adding more air passage for the skater. With these features, skating feels less sweaty for the head.
I think linings are another factor that keeps the user comfortable. JBM has three pieces of removable lining, and by detaching them, the wearer can clean, dry, and put the linings back in place once they’re new and fresh.
On the downside, some users experienced the plastic piece connecting the adjustment component to the helmet snapping slightly early.
Pros
- Adjustable straps
- 9 vent holes and aerodynamic cut
- 3 easy-to-clean removable linings
Cons
- Adjustable straps
- 9 vent holes and aerodynamic cut
2. OutdoorMaster Skateboard Helmet
Skateboard trucks are adjustable, and so are some helmets, like this one by OutdoorMaster.
This product comes with two adjustment features: the dial and the straps. Per several users, the dial works as expected while being durable. At the same time, the straps secure the fit around the face below the chin.
These helmet straps do not only give the user a snug fit. They also don’t irritate the skin. So, while the headgear fits firmly, it doesn’t bother us with discomfort.
I think this is the coolest helmet with the most number of vent holes (12). Some ventilation holes are on top; others are in front, and the rest are at the back.
These vent holes will help circulate air from various directions to the rider’s head. Subsequently, the skater feels less sweaty, especially when practicing in humid conditions.
Pros
- Adjustable straps
- 9 vent holes and aerodynamic cut
- 3 easy-to-clean removable linings
Cons
- Adjustable straps
- 9 vent holes and aerodynamic cut

Skateboard Helmets Vs Bike Helmets: What’s the Difference?
The common ground skateboard and bike helmets share is their purpose, which is to protect the user’s head. Let’s distinguish these headgear.
- Bike helmets may come with visor but often don’t protect the back of the head.
- Bike helmets may come with visor but often don’t protect the back of the head.
- Bike helmets may come with visor but often don’t protect the back of the head.
Hi, I am Charles Harris. I opened this site to write as much as I can about my biggest passion – skateboarding!
I started as a clumsy yet passionate rookie 10 years ago to now a still passionate yet much better skateboarder! But I have to tell you, the whole journey has always been fun and rewarding, indeed not without hardship.
