Rullalautailykypärät

Rullalautailykypärät, often referred to as skate helmets, are protective headgear specifically designed for skateboarding and related activities. They are characterized by their rounded shape, often a low profile, and a hard outer shell designed to withstand impacts. Unlike bicycle helmets, skate helmets typically offer more coverage, especially at the back of the head, to protect against falls common in skateboarding.

These helmets are constructed with an outer shell made of durable materials like ABS plastic or polycarbonate. This shell is designed to absorb and distribute the force of an impact. Beneath the outer shell is a layer of impact-absorbing foam, usually expanded polystyrene (EPS) or EPP foam, which cushions the head from direct blows. The interior often includes padding for comfort and a snug fit.

Safety standards are crucial for rullalautailykypärät. Helmets sold in most regions must meet specific safety certifications, such as those set by the ASTM International (F1492 standard) or the European Committee for Standardization (EN 1078). These certifications indicate that the helmet has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it provides adequate protection. Proper fit is essential for the helmet to function effectively. A skate helmet should sit level on the head, covering the forehead, and the straps should be adjusted to create a secure but comfortable fit, allowing for two fingers between the strap and the chin.
