The new standard in protective gear. Every Pryme 8 helmet features the Pryme Skull logo on the rivets and includes an extra decal kit as well as multiple sizing pads for a perfect fit. Pryme 8 helmets meet CPSC requirements.
Good product but heavy It is doubtlessly good helmet, which came in nice package with even nicer decals to apply. It has 3 sizes of internal padding, which are interchangeable to fit perfectly. I bought it for cycling needs (for downhill part of it) and noticed certain differences from bike helmets used by me: 1) Pryme is much heavier than anything I had before. It took time to get used to such burden on my head, but on the other side - it is not cycling helmet, so heavy weight can be downside of enhanced protection, required in BMX or skiing. 2)Straps don't have any soft padding for the chin area and they should have it, believe me! I fitted one pad from my Giro helmet to this Pryme.
Bottom line: it is good helmet for the price. If don't care for it's weight, I can't find any reason not to recommend it. Good buy! Not a good fit. I can't get this helmet to fit me well. I used the chart provided by company to figure out what size to order, it was too big. I exchanged it for the correct size (had to pay shipping to send it back) and got the smaller size and that one doesn't fit well either. I tried using the little stick-on pads that come with it, they seem to confuse things further. I am stuck with the helmet because I bought it and then paid extra to exchange size. My advice is don't try to save a few bucks by ordering a helmet online. It backfired for me - try them on in person. Great Helmet! If your going to complain about the size TRY THEM ON FIRST! Its like buying a pair of shoes online and saying they don't fit, duhh all brands are different.
With that being said, these helmets seem very well made and are sturdy. The fit and finish on them is very good. Lots of colors to choose from and they look good! For the price you simply can't beat them! Not a bad helmet, looks funny on a large head. I bought this helmet a year ago. I was in the market for a skate-style helmet for my bicycle, which I ride to work, purely for aesthetic reasons. I ordered the orange XL model from Niagara Cycle Works via Amazon Marketplace, and I have no complaints on cost, shipping, or service.
Just a note of caution - I am a pretty big dude (6' 2" and heavy), and I guess I have an exceptionally large/tall noggin. The helmet does fit, but it barely seems to cover my head; instead, it just kind of sits on top of my head. I'm not terribly worried that it is doing a bad job protecting my head, but it looks a little ridiculous.
For people who don't have a gargantuan coconut like me, I'm sure this helmet looks totally fine. Still, if I had the choice to purchase again, I would probably order something else that is a little more proportional to my body/head size. kids love it Bought 2 for skateboarding boys 13 and 11. Good fit and they have decorated them with cool stickers, they are happy and so am I with this product.
