ZG Skate System Vector M5 Carbon Downhill Helmet

The classic, aerodynamic, popular design is back! The vector m-5 skating helmet is a stylish helmet that has an excellent track record of saving lives. All of the vector series helmets are designed with your safety in mind. They use 4 layers of high strength fiberglass and 1 layer of K3 carbon fiber to ensure maximum durability and safety (see gallery). They also added 2 extra layers of fiberglass in the critical impact zones (frontal lobe, top-left and right, rear cranial, and rear neck – see pics below), which give you a total of 6 layers in the impact zones and up to 8-10 layers in the overlapping areas for added strength. This allows them to make a helmet that is both super-light and super-strong at the same time. It also enables them to pass higher certifications, ATSM1492 and ATSM1952 , even though these certifications are not required for Downhill skate helmets.These helmets offer the best possible vision – they were designed to be ideal for aerodynamic tucking in downhill skateboarding without straining your neck and the ultimate forward view for street luge.The visors have a unique 3-point locking mechanism that allows them to stay safely closed at high speed or to remain open when you need more air.The new generation visor locks are made of high strength POM (Polyoxymethylene), also known as plastic steel. This significantly reduces the chance or breaking upon impact. Just simply rotate forward to unlock and back to lock (pliers are recommended).The inner liners and cheek pads are super comfortable. All liners can be removed and washed. We have 5 different sizes to ensure the perfect fit.New D-style chin strap will keep the helmet safely on your head.ZG Skate helmets are one of the lightest in the industry, offering maximum comfort to the riders.To determine the best fit for your helmet, measure the circumference of your head. If you are between sizes, go with the larger size. If you’re not happy with the fit, we’ll swap out your pads for you.
