The detail

About this helmets

A proper watersports helmet rather than a repurposed cycling shell: it drains, it does not fill with water and pull your head sideways, and the padding will not absorb and hold litres of sea water. The rear dial adjusts the fit one-handed so you can snug it down over a hood in winter or run it looser in summer. Removable ear pads add impact protection and cut wind noise, though many riders take them off for better awareness of other kites. Worth wearing any time you ride in a crowd, near shallow reef, or while you are learning to jump. Available in two size ranges covering most adult head circumferences.
