When you need a helmet that’ll protect you, even after a few up-close meetings with Mother Earth, look to the POC Crane Helmet. This Swedish-designed, skate-style lid has a polycarbonate shell with progressively denser EPS foam lining for enhanced impact protection.

Out back, there’s a sizing-adjustment system to make sure the helmet fits as it should, not like some floppy skate helmets do.
