wipeout_helmet1Triple Eight is onto something. The Wipeout Dry Erase Helmet doesn’t encourage a wipeout on a bike, skateboard or in-line skates. The “wipeout” in the name is actually to denote that the surface of the protective helmet can be decorated using dry erase markers.

Interbike 2013: Triple 8 Goes Four

Triple-EightWe’re not exactly good at math, but Triple Eight announced at Interbike this week that it is expanding its Bike Line with four new helmets. These include the new Gotham (above), which offers a mix of style, comfort and safety for the urban/commuter market. This helmet features a subtle brim and Triple Eight logo vent, along with a custom Adjustable Fit Dial System, patented Conehead EPS liner technology plus reflective branding for safety.

In addition the lineup includes the lightweight in-mold design Compass, which will be good for those heading out to the trails or just a cruise through town. This MTB helmet features greater head coverage than traditional bike helmets and an Adjustable Fit Dial System to provide a secure, custom fit no matter how rugged the terrain. The Invader takes up it up a notch and is for those who want to make a full blown assault on bombing hills or hitting jumps, while the Lil 8 is for those younger riders, and is dual certified for toddler skaters and riders. It even offers the Adjustable Fit Dial System because the little ones should have a great fit too.
