Triple Eight Dual Certified Helmet

Why We Like It

The Triple Eight Dual Certified is the only kids helmet certified for both bike riding (CPSC) and skateboarding (ASTM F1492). For families where kids ride bikes, scooters, and skateboards, this eliminates the need to own two separate helmets. The ABS hard outer shell is purpose-built for the multiple lower-impact falls that happen in skate sessions.
