Triple Eight Dual Certified Helmet

Over the last few weeks, IlI have returned three helmets and I can say I have finally found the winner. I’ve been looking for a BMX-ish type helmet for cruising around the hood on my bike. Two of the helmets were advertised incorrectly as applying to biking or are questionable on safety—advertised with [certification] but with no markings or stickers lending credit to the claim. They also came only in a tied-off bag...sketchy. The third one had such a large dome that it made my head look huge....probably a safe helmet, but not the youthful look I was after.Opened the amazon box and was extremely happy to find the helmet in packaging worthy of a new helmet from a store. The box had the advertised certifications right on the front of the box. Additionally, the inside of the helmet had certification stickers and mfg date/lot stickers. All the info in the helmet and on the box made me feel like I was getting a legit safe product. I got the glass black helmet and it’s about as glossy as a highly polished car. I’m talking 95% mirror gloss. I like the green color of the brand stickers and the chin strap. Only one strap is green, the other is black. It also comes with a large orange sticker to slap on something and additional pads. The space/cut-outs above the ears is ample. The thickness of the inner impact foam and the shell along with the overall shape is just right. I feel like I’d be protected but also don’t look like a commuter.The fit is nice. With the pads, it sits on your skull cap evenly and is cushioned just right. Nowhere does it compress or rub on a given spot. There isn’t a back adjustment cage/dial to tighten it down, but it actually sits/fits so well when the straps are properly adjusted. Because of this, I wasn’t overly concerned it wasn’t going to stay on should I go airborne and skid on my melon. The air port holes aren’t very big but still allow enough airflow to move through that you won’t get too too sweaty.This helmet was a winner. I liked it so much I was adding my own stickers to it after only 5 minutes. I’d highly recommend this helmet and we’ll probably get another one for the family.
