Buying a helmet for skateboarding seems straightforward, until you have to choose between an adult skateboard helmet, a cycling or skating helmet, or a model that is also suitable for BMX and scooters. Marketing copy often emphasises ventilation, shock absorption and an adjustable fit. However, these terms mean little if the size is wrong or the helmet is not suited to how you intend to use it.
The OutdoorMaster Oryx skateboard helmet is designed for skateboarding, cycling, BMX, mountain biking, scooting, roller skating and inline skating. The product descriptions mention a reinforced ABS outer shell, an EPS core, ventilation openings and two removable liners. Below, you’ll find what to consider before buying and which version suits different users.
Age is not a reliable substitute for head circumference. Two children of the same age may need noticeably different fits. Adults do not automatically fall into size L or XL either.
Measure your head circumference with a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your head, approximately 2.5 cm above your eyebrows. Then compare the measurement with the product’s size indication:
The ranges may overlap between versions. So don’t choose based on the letter alone: always check the centimetres, then adjust the dial and chin strap.
An inline skating helmet, a BMX helmet and a scooter helmet may have similar shapes, but recommendations for use vary by model. According to the product description, the OutdoorMaster Oryx is designed for standard cycling, skating and skateboarding, as well as BMX, MTB and scooting. The description does not state that the helmet is suitable for motorsports, extreme tricks or motorised vehicles.
Use the helmet only for the activities listed and follow local road regulations. When buying, also check whether the product page includes the relevant European standard and mandatory product information. An ABS helmet with EPS protection is not a guarantee that every risk is eliminated.
A helmet that feels comfortable during a short ride can feel hot or become unpleasant with daily use. So pay attention to ventilation openings and how the liner can be cleaned. The OutdoorMaster Oryx comes with two removable liners. According to the product description, they can be hand-washed and air-dried.
Wash the liner with mild soap, allow it to dry completely and only then put it back in place. The shell can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning products and do not modify the helmet or foam.
An adjustable sports helmet should fit securely without creating pressure points. The dial at the back of the helmet helps you fine-tune the fit. The chin strap should sit flat beneath your chin and must not hang loose. Check the adjustment before every use, particularly for children who put their helmets on themselves.
A helmet that shifts forwards, backwards or sideways is not fitted correctly, even if the size is right on paper.
According to the product information, the Oryx versions use a reinforced ABS shell with a thicker EPS foam core. ABS forms the hard outer layer, while EPS is the foam material inside, designed to help absorb energy during an impact. This is the construction often found in a skateboard helmet and BMX helmet.
Always check the latest product information, markings and any conformity documents before buying. A brand’s product claims are not independent evidence of performance. After a hard fall or collision, replace the helmet, even if there is no visible crack on the outside.
According to the product description, the OutdoorMaster helmet has a ventilation system and two interchangeable liners. This is practical for families, keen sports enthusiasts and anyone who uses their helmet regularly. After use, allow the helmet to dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Do not store a helmet in a hot car for extended periods. Heat, sharp objects and modifications to the shell, straps or padding can affect its properties.
Why it suits this profile: A straightforward size option for adults or young people with a head circumference of 52 to 55 cm who are starting out with skateboarding, cycling or scooting.
The stated size in centimetres helps prevent you from choosing based only on age or clothing size. The two removable liners make maintenance easier.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Measure around the widest part of your head, approximately 2.5 cm above your eyebrows. Keep the tape measure horizontal and note the circumference in centimetres. Compare this figure with the size chart for the specific version. Once you have put the helmet on, adjust the dial first and then the chin strap.
Its lifespan depends on use, storage and any impacts. Replace the helmet immediately after a serious fall or collision, even if you cannot see any visible damage. Also regularly check the ABS shell, EPS core, straps and liner for cracks, deformation or wear. There is no fixed service life that applies to every user.
According to the product descriptions, the Oryx is designed for several activities, including cycling, skateboarding, BMX, MTB, scooting, roller skating and inline skating. Before use, check that your activity falls within the stated application and that the required product marking and standard information are shown on the current product page. Do not use the helmet for motor vehicles or activities for which it is not specified.
