    Default help finding triple eight foam

    I've been meaning to get in the habit of wearing a helmet on my daily cruise back from school and now that I live further downhill, the commute will be a bit more intense. I have the protec triple eight helmet but it's missing the rear foam padding. I've seen protec foam online for $10, but does anyone know of any alternative you can use and buy locally and not have to order? School starts next week and I am broke, so could appreciate every dollar saved

    thanks

    protec and triple8 are two different brands.

    If you could specify which helmet, I can look around!
    FlexDex Lust for Life - Gullwing Missions, Gravity Burners, Bones Reds.

    KS Scimitar - Randal 180s, Abec11 Flashbacks, MHS Bearings.

    glad to see you're taking an interest in your safety.

    you can't show your parents that you need a new helm? That's the only thing mine will help me buy as far as skating goes.

    well the tag says
    medium
    54-56cm 450g
    Pro-tec
    ClassicLand
    En 1385
    1998

    helmet icon says triple eight though, so i assume triple eight is just name

    Hard foam layer is about 11mm thick and the soft foam on top is about 4mm thick.


    Probably should just get a new helmet although this looks safe, just needs that strap i guess
    could ask family...maybe they would but were tryin to conserve and they're already payin a lot for tuition and everything so i hate to ask for anything additional

    Sounds like an old Pro-Tec Classic. The helmet is 11 years old, the interior foam is probably dried up and brittle by this point. It's ability to cushion an impact is likely not-so-good. Manufacturers recommend a new helmet every 3 years or so - which is a bit extreme, but they're trying to get sales... 11 years? I recommend you get a new one.

    We have a ProTec Ace Burnquist model (rubber black) in our scratch and dent area. It's the "old" ProTec size M/L for 55-58cm heads. We got it back on a return and had already switched our site to the newer ProTec sizes. PM me and we can work something out for you...
