Super stoked on everything coming out of Predator. I’ve got one of the first gen of DH6. A visor tab would be great to include in the next version.
joseph, a lo-profile visor tab is already happening for the next round.
awsome helmet but the back is to round.
the round head helps dissipate impact better than a paragliding tail
basic physics
no it doesn’t. basic physics. show me the math.
hey so i love the helmet its awesome but with the cheak pads its a little to tight, i can feel my head pound hahaha but with out them it is perfect. so i was just wondering if it is still safe to ride without the cheak pads. it dont move around on my head at all without them so please let me know. Thanks
the point of the cheek pads is to prevent the helmet from moving around on your head while riding, and more importantly, when crashing. if the helmet does’nt move around much without the pads then i’d say its ok. I assume you are using the thinner cheek pads? if you keep the thinner pads in there, they will pack out a little bit over time.
ok awesome thanks for the help. with out the pads i can touch the side with my cheek if i push my tongue to one side hahaha and ya it dont move around. and do you have any advice for some kind of anti fog?
Hey I want to get a DH-6 they look fantastic but I was wondering when the next generation is coming out ?
Its looking like mid march for the next round to be in the USA Distribution center.
I would just like to say that your new DH6 helmets are gonna be a great improvement on current helmet trends in DH skateboarding. I salute you for doing it and doing it properly! I wish you all the best and hope to see you thrive. You have got my vote. Finally a safe TESTED helmet aimed at DH skating! It is long overdue.
hey, love the helmets they look amazing, finally a dh skateboarding that you know is safe due to the new rating, too bad its out of my price range oh well i will just stick to my bell drop for now
hey guys love my DH6 such a great helmet. when the new visors come in will they fit better to the old helmets.
I know you have worked to get them to sit closer then the massive gap in the old one, but was this due to the holes on the visors or the mounting points on the helmet? don’t really want to shell out for more visors that don’t fit.
Hi Owen,
the gap between the visor and helmet on the old DH6 was due to the fact that the mold used for the visors were fibreglass and not injection molded like the current ones. that meant that the visors had slight differences in them and weren’t %100 identical. Because of this there was issues regarding the visor rubbing the helmet so we needed to make the gap to reduce rubbing. the new visors are much more precise, and therefor we were able to reduce the gap and make the visor/shell fit much more precise. We are not sure yet if the new visors will work with the old helmets because we haven’t had one in our hands to tell but we think they will not fit as the shell had to be modified slightly. If you want to upgrade your old helmet for a new one, please contact us and we will be able to help you out.

Where are your helmets actually manufactured?
like virtually every other production helmet, all Predator helmets are manufactured in China. We travel to China a few times a year to oversea production.
