Pro-Tec Protection Gear

Pro-Tec is a pioneer in the action sports industry, recognized globally for producing high-quality protective gear including helmets and pads. Founded in 1973, the brand initially gained fame through its iconic skater-style helmets that became a standard in skateboarding, BMX, and roller sports.

While the brand originated in the United States, manufacturing is primarily centralized in China to leverage specialized production facilities for polycarbonate shells and safety foam. Over its half-century history, the brand has transitioned through various corporate owners. Since 2015, it has been owned by Bravo Sports, a major conglomerate specializing in sporting goods and outdoor equipment. This ownership has allowed Pro-Tec to expand its distribution footprint while maintaining its core identity as a heritage brand in extreme sports.
