FAQ

Is it a real helmet?
No – it's a surf hat with a removable impact insert that absorbs board and wipe-out impacts. It is not a certified helmet and does not cover the back of your head or your neck.

Does it stay on when you wipe out?
Yes. You tighten the chin strap and elastic adjuster before you paddle out. And if it ever does come off, it floats.

Does it get hot?
No. It's made to be worn wet – the water keeps it cool through the session.
