A helmet is the most critical piece of gear you’ll ever own. At The Drop, we focus on helmets that meet and exceed global safety standards (CPSC and ASTM), ensuring that whether you are on a bike, skateboard, or longboard, you have the best impact-dispersion technology available.
The Heritage of Protection: Pro-Tec
Pro-Tec is the original action sports protection brand. For over 45 years, they have defined the look of the "skate helmet." Their Classic Certified models feature high-impact EPS foam liners and a signature 11-vent system that keeps air flowing during the most intense sessions.
Innovation and Comfort: Triple 8
Triple 8 is renowned for their Sweatsaver technology. By combining a high-impact EPS foam liner with a plush, replaceable moisture-wicking fabric, Triple 8 has solved the problem of sweat-sting and helmet odor. It’s a top choice for skaters who want a snug, "deep-fit" feel that doesn't move during technical maneuvers.
The Canadian Edge: Yepa
Yepa brings a specialized focus to the collection, with designs that are favorites among the Canadian longboard and freeride communities. Known for their aerodynamic profiles and robust construction, Yepa helmets are engineered to handle high-velocity sessions while maintaining a lightweight feel. They represent a commitment to performance that resonates with the dedicated northern rider.
Finding Your Size
A secure fit is non-negotiable. To ensure your helmet performs as intended, measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows:
- Small: 51–54cm (20.1" – 21.3")
- Medium: 54–57cm (21.3" – 22.4")
- Large: 57–60cm (22.4" – 23.6")
- XL: 60–63cm (23.6" – 24.8")
