San Leandro, CA – Skate Industry News: Pro-Tec Pushing Safety With Style

From empty concrete pools in Southern California to the epic runs of the Colorado Rockies, Action Sports participants have always found a way to adapt and push forward; a mindset Pro-Tec engineers embrace while aggressively pursuing new innovative designs. So whether you’re a backcountry powder-hound, a handrail destroyer, or an everyday resort cruiser just learning to shred, Pro-Tec’s extensive line of helmets caters to any rider who wants the classic Pro-Tec look with proven protection.

Founded in 1973, Pro-Tec is the original skateboard protective gear brand, featuring the market’s most recognizable style of helmets. Pro-Tec designs are often imitated but never truly duplicated; that’s because no other action sports brand has 40-years of heritage producing the most stylish and technologically advanced protective gear.
