S1 Skate Helmets, Pads & Protection

The Lifer uses a blend of EPS foam and hard ABS shell, designed to protect against multiple low and high impacts without deforming permanently. It meets ASTM F1492 and CPSC certifications, making it suitable for skateboarding, scootering and roller sports.

The Mini Lifer is a youth‑sized version of the Lifer, designed for smaller heads. Otherwise, both use the same protective construction. S1 also offers the Retro Lifer for those who prefer an old‑school, rounder helmet shape.
