DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Support
The 360° elastic adjustment system molds to your head's shape without feeling tight. On the water, you'll feel the secure hold when you initiate a turn or pick up speed; the helmet stays put, eliminating annoying shifts. The ear protectors reduce water entry while maintaining excellent hearing, so you stay connected to everything happening around you.
Certified Safety
The NF EN812 certification confirms the helmet's ability to absorb the light impacts common in watersports. Its soft shell minimizes cuts and protects against impacts with hard surfaces like reef. We highly recommend this feature if you ride on rocky spots or if your sessions are intense.
Construction and Ride Feel
The soft shell delivers a less rigid feel than a traditional plastic helmet. It provides more progressive shock absorption and fewer pressure points. Its lightweight design ensures comfortable wear, even in warm conditions. This combination of support and flexibility minimizes chafing and discomfort throughout your session.
On-water behaviour
On the spot, your helmet remains stable even when the water and wind are moving. You'll maintain excellent sound perception thanks to the ear protectors. They minimize the impact of water at high speeds. For Surf and foil, the secure fit prevents the helmet from shifting during maneuvers, reducing distractions and allowing you to focus entirely on your line.
Buying advice
Choose your size based on your head circumference: S-M 54-58 cm or L-XL 58-62 cm. If you're unsure, we recommend trying it on in-store to check the tightness of the 360° system and the comfort around your ears. The helmet is compatible with a lycra or a hood for colder sessions.
