Helmet Needed

[Jill M]

Need a new whitewater helmet. Would like to try it on before I buy. Where can I get one in the state of Arkansas- somewhere between Jonesboro and Little Rock would be nice. Thanks!

Closest outfitter in Arkansas to you is likely Ozark OUtdoors.

Go a bit further to Hot Springs and you get Ouachita Outdoor Outfitters:

If you have a really big head (literally), Kayak Academy in Washington state carries Gath helmets which will fit up to 8 1/4.

Jilly Jill, there's a new paddling shop in Searcy. Can't remember what it's called, but my buddies at Ozark Mountain Trading Company speak highly of it, which means it's a good shop. Might try there. Can't think of anywhere closer to Jonesboogie at the moment, but if I do I'll holler. You might consider just buying one cheap from a gear swap (usually quite a few on Boatertalk) and making it fit. That worked out well for me. Most of those folks are willing to do Paypal and ship. Merry Christmas my friend!
