Hey guys my name is Kevin, I’m a designer at PRO-TEC. I’m doing some research on how you guys deal with lids and pads and what you think of protective gear. I’d be stoked if you gave me some feedback on the questions, and any other comments you want to share. Appreciate your help!

1. Can you describe PRO-TEC in a few (3-5) key words, and point out where the brand is different in comparison to other protective gear brands.

2. Tell me about your worst experience with protective gear, and what you absolutely hate about your gear?

3. Do you like to customize your protective gear? Why and how do you do this?

4. Do you see trends in protective gear in terms of what will be hip in a few years?

5. What would be your favorite product improvement in protection gear?

You should probably post this on a BMX message board that riders actually frequent. There's only ten or so people that actually ride BMX here. Try BikeGuide or *sigh* BMX-Forum.

1. It's different because they actually offer a comfortable helmet, except you can't buy it in California.
2. Everything available in California is incredibly uncomfortable.
3. No.
4. Open-face helmets with visors and chinstraps, hopefully.
5. Fitted hats with forcefields.

1. Pro-Tec is a great company. They are different because their helmets are better and more comfy.
2. I hate gear that is uncomfortable and hot.
3. I put stickers on my helmet if that counts. Other than that, no.
4. The only trend right now really is bucket helmets with visors. Looks pretty good.
5. Comfier, slimmer, elbow and knee pads, and cooler, more ventilated helmets.

dont worry about gear.
