The S-One Lifer Helmet is a multi-impact skate helmet with a traditional fit that sits low on your dome by design. The S-One Lifer offers the comfort and feel of a soft foam helmet with the safety and protection of high-impact EPS foam. Circular vents keep the air flowing to cool your head, and the liners can be removed and washed or simply replaced once they've seen enough miles.

Awesome protection, great color/patternsThese have saved my wife’s melon on more than one occasion. We play it safe & replace it any time it takes a really solid hit, but because of how well it’s protected her when that happens, we come back to the S1 every time!

Comments: I'm a male derby player and ref, 6' 200lbs. It's a helmet: it's comfortable & lightweight. Not much more to say about it! It does sit a little higher with a bigger profile than a Pro Tec. From: Mike, Orlando, FL USA
Comments: I've been a Lifer since I started skating a few years ago, and transitioned to the Visor Lifer when I started playing last year. We also purchased several of the Junior Lifers for our Skater Tots, and couldn't be more pleased with the ease of size adjustments without sacrificing safety! From: Steven 'Trash', Warner Robins, GA
Comments: A very comfortable fit and super lightweight! I noticed a lot of folks have said this is a slimmer fitting helmet, I didn't notice it so maybe I have a slimmer head... That said I ordered a large helmet but added extra large replacement liners (for the color) and the extra large liners are more all around comfortable. I am one of those "I hate wearing safety" gear guys, but I'll admit that I love this helmet & I am very happy with the purchase! From: Mike, Orlando, FL USA
Comments: It's a slimmer fit than I'm used to but overall very happy with how it feels while skating. From: Stephanie Bennett, Kingsburg, CA United States
Comments: I love this helmet and am very happy with it. I will say that the fit is somewhat narrow-feeling on my head and I was surprised that I wear an XL (cause I'm not a large person, but I suppose the brain is massive, so yeah). I've worn it for about two years now and zero complaints. From: Greenhouse Gashes, Edina, MO USA
Comments: Derby player here - I love S1 Lifer helmets and this one's no exception. One thing to note about my order: The purple color in the listing for this product looks very light, almost a lavender color - but the actual helmet is a dark purple. I was disappointed. From: Katherine, 2/26/21
