Sweatsaver™ Liner Sweating sucks, but everyone does it. It smells, it stains, and worse off, it can sting if it gets in your eyes. So our techies here at Triple Eight listened to our top riders, went back to the drawing board and developed the patented Sweatsaver™ liner that helps eliminate all of that. Our revolutionary liner has moisture-wicking layers that limit sweat drippage, anti-bacterial treatment to make it virtually stink proof, and a 360° wrap around design so that there is absolutely no liner separation. And with our terry cloth construction, you can kiss that itchy head feeling goodbye. Our Sweatsaver™ liner is standard in all rubberized and pro helmets and is also sold individually in sizes XS – XL. Liners soon to be available in a rainbow of colors so that you can customize your helmet.

SPECIAL MAKE-UP HELMETS

5BORO PIGEON LEAGUE NYC’s 5boro has credibility in skateboarding that is stronger than the Empire State Building. That is why we at Triple Eight are honored to produce a 5boro customized Brainsaver. The 5boro helmet, with artwork by Grotesk, comes in a glossy finish with adjustable straps and our Sweatsaver™ Liner. A portion of the proceeds from this helmet will go towards the New York City Skateboarding Association to help bring awareness to our sport and support grassroots efforts for skateboarding in NYC.

BALLON ROBOT Balloon Robot was created as part of Triple Eight’s groundbreaking “Design or Die” open design challenge. We enlisted a community of creatives from around the world to design, collaborate and vote on designs. Of the more than 170 entries, Balloon Robot, designed by Llereni Medina of Chicago, IL, emerged as a favorite. So we decided to produce it and kick back a portion of the proceeds to this up and coming designer. Balloon Robot is available in Black and Light, both in our Rubberized finish with our Sweatsaver™ Liner.
