S1 Helmet Co. Lifer Helmet

Dual certification means this helmet has passed rigorous testing for both high-impact collisions and repeated low-force impacts. While many standard helmets only protect against one major crash, the Retro Lifer is engineered to handle the everyday bumps and scrapes common in skateboarding and cycling.

Yes, the Retro Lifer is designed to meet the safety standards for both activities. Its EPS Fusion Foam construction provides the necessary protection for the different types of falls you might encounter on a bike or a skateboard.

Standard helmets often use soft foam that is only effective for a single, major impact. The EPS Fusion Foam used here is a specialized material that maintains its structural integrity better, offering reliable protection against both high-impact crashes and the smaller, repeated hits that happen during daily riding.

Not at all. While the design draws from classic skate helmet profiles, the fit is modern and secure. It prioritizes a snug, stable feel that stays in place during active movement, though it is a closed-shell design, so it may feel warmer than highly ventilated racing helmets.

To get the best fit, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare that measurement to the S1 size chart, as a proper fit is essential for the foam technology to work effectively during an impact.
