5 ways to stay safe in the dark while skating

There's no reason to stay inside just because it's dark. Get out, have fun, and be safe with these products.

There's no denying it, it's winter, and in many places, this also means that the days get shorter.

But that doesn't mean you can't skate or ride scooters and BMX outside; it's only a matter of being visible to stay safe.

Studies show that wearing a reflector when it's dark reduces the risk of getting into an accident in traffic by 85%.

Stay visible and stay safe

Get seen in the dark with The Gotham Helmet from Triple Eight. This helmet becomes reflective in the dark and turns black during the day.

This model is approved for both bike and skate use. Thanks to the Fit Dial system and the Sweatsave pads, you are always sure to get the perfect and the best comfort.

Light up in the dark

Are you commuting on your scooter or maybe looking for something to make your kids more visible while riding their Globber scooter out on the street? Then the Scoot n Pull Scoot Beamz is the answer.

This smart light is easy to attach and has three settings: fast flash, slow flash, and constant light. When not activated, it still functions as a reflector.
