Gath Surf Convertible Helmet

Gath is the premier name in water sports helmets. Purpose designed for surfing the Gath helmet is very low profile and are extremely light weighing just over a pound. They offer full head coverage, which is much more than most other brands while also allowing an unhindered field of vision and full range of motion. They don’t measure up against helmets the way DOT measures helmet strength, but they do a much better job in real world applications. Their rounded shell is able to deflect blows more readily than a larger helmet, the extremely low profile design prevents dragging or snagging on water or other objects, and the fit system actually connects the liner to the users head so that it does not move around on your head. So it will never slip down over your eyes or come off the back of your head. Gath helmets have grown well beyond surfing and have become a staple in whitewater kayaking, skydiving, search and rescue, kitesurfing, windsurfing and sports where people are on and in the water.

If you want head protection without ear coverage and as little bulk as possible, the Gath Surf Convertible Helmet with detachable ear pockets will provide you a smart balance between impact head protection and lightweight comfort. The Surf Convertible’s lightweight, comfort, low-profile design and convertibility make it the best choice for surfers.

The Gath Surf Convertible Helmet features foam forehead coverage that adds additional protection. Flexible ear protectors automatically adapt to your face size and shape and are removable to suit temperature or user preference, and audio vents are fully adjustable. Fit can be customized with comfort strips to achieve a fit that offers maximum comfort and stability.
