Full Face Helmets 17 years 11 months ago #17103

I saw a video on youtube where several of the boaters have full face helmets, none of which look like the ones on the market that I am aware of. So I was wondering if any of you have any idea what helmets they're wearing.






Go to the very end of the video to get the best view of them. Two of the paddlers are wearing white full face helmets, and another guy is wearing a white and blue one which is different than the other two.


The full face helmets I am aware of are the one by sweet and the one by fna but the ones in the video don't look like either of them.

One is an old american football helmet, the rest are probably motorbike helmets without visors. Oldskool style.

And very foolish! If you want a full face helmet, at least get one from a kayak manufacturer, Sweet, Shred Ready, FNA etc

Yeah, that's totally stupid. Apart from being designed for a totally different purpose, motorcycle helmets are padded with open-cell foam which will absorb water and become very heavy.

I think this is shot before sweet started their company. our community has porgressed since. if you look at the paddles boats ect. Things was changed, most of the equipment is much better now. I thinks that there are some romer helmets, but it is difficult to see.
