2 Stage Foam |
SXP Foam (CPSC Certified) |
|
2 Stage Foam is thick and sticks
to the shell of the helmet by velcro tabs. |
The SXP foam is not removable
and connected to the shell of the helmet. A
thinner padded liner sticks to the SXP by velcro
tabs. |

 |
|
Notice the thickness of the removable
foam insert. Crown piece is not replaceable. 2
Stage Foam is more comfortable to wear and fits
more snug on the head. 2 Stage Foam helmets have a
lower profile on the head. |
Notice that the padded inserts
are much thinner than the 2 stage foam and crown
piece is replaceable. SXP provides more impact
resistance than 2 Stage Foam. Helmets with SXP
have a bigger profile on the head. |

CPSC certified (SXP foam) helmets are mandatory
in California.
Surface activated eXpanded Polypropylene (SXP), a patented,
multi-impact helmet technology that is ideal for the
aggressive riding style of action sports athletes. When
conventional helmets take a hard hit, the foam liner
compresses and stays compressed, losing most of its impact
absorbing properties. Due to the advanced chemical structure
and sophisticated processes used to create SXP helmet liners,
Pro-tec pushes beyond the norm by offering multiple impact
protection that far exceeds the competition.
