CRACKERS, the certified is certified so offers good protection for one hard hit (like most helmets), while the low profile is a hard hat so less protection from a hard hit but fine for multiple impacts.


If you look on the sandbox site the low profile has some sort of certification but its just a number, the certified has another number….means nothing much to me.

I didn’t look at the site. I know they normally have certified and hard hat options.

Pretty sure that the Low Rider Style, has a lower protection rating than the Classic!!!!!

The Low Rider only used to come in one size fits all too!!!!! Not sure now though!!!!!

I’ve got the L/XL in the Classic!!!!!

Looks like the classic with the lip is the best protection. The one without it doesn’t have the same rating as the foam is thinner. Having a helmet is pointless if you get shit impact protection so I wouldn’t bother with anything less than the classic.

Both have Certification, but the Classic has a better rating in regards to Snowsports (Non-motorized)!!!!! The other is for Wake/Watersports (non-motorized only I think)!!!!!

The “Classic” is also the one that comes in a L/XL Size, as the other peaked model (Low Profile) doesn’t!!!!! Well, it never used to!!!!!

Hope that makes sense, mate?????
