WTB a safety helmet, need suggestions

Post by MikkiW » Sun Jul 03, 2011 6:31 am

Looking for a helmet size large (23") I am not an aggressive WW paddler. Comfort is my main issue. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I get helmet headaches from the adjustable plastic straps inside the headgear(No jokes please about loosening the straps) Have tried this until the helmet literally slides slides around and it still is a problem . Would like to find one with foam padding only and try it out to see if this would help the problem. All suggestions appreciated from experienced users. Would like to make sure before I buy as this is not a cheap piece of equipment.

The best thing to do is try some on. It took me several months to get my shred ready outfitted so it would be comfortable for atleast a few hours at a time.

A friend of mine just got the SR Sesh. It seemed like a good place to start at a good price.
