HELMET

A must-have item for any level of whitewater

Alright folks, time to get serious. Protecting your noggin is one of the most important things you can do on the river, and it's not just protection from whack-a-rock day. Your eyes can get water-whipped, your face can get sunburned, and yes, you can whack your head on a rock.

None of those things are pleasant, fun, or necessary thanks to the most innovative riverboarding helmet on the market, the GATH line of helmets. We've put them to the test against the best whitewater helmets in the world, and there's no comparison - GATH wins in every category.

GATH GEDI CONVERTIBLE
An incredibly lightweight and sexy design, the Gedi is a perfect helmet for boardercross racers or the casual weekend riverboarder.

With a slide up visor and detachable earpieces, this helmet has everything you need in the way of splash protection in a comfortable, safe, and attractive design. Gath helmets are also the warmest helmets we have tested, rivaling our 7mm hoods!

GATH RETRACTABLE VISOR
The lightest helmet on the market is also the absolute best for extreme riverboarders. With a full face visor, even the biggest rapids can now be viewed clearly with eyes wide open!

This helmet conforms to the highest safety ratings possible for impact protection, and it's so comfortable you won't even know it's there. Plus, the visor is shatterproof, 98% UV protective, and best of all it doesn't fog up!

With the new innovations GATH has put into their helmets there's no reason to spend extra money on goggles that won't work and bulky hoods to keep you warm. Of course, you can do that, but instead, why not just get the best whitewater helmet that money can buy? It's as warm as a hood, more protective and comfortable than any other helmet on the market, and probably the best feature for riverboarders, it has a splash shield that doesn't fog up!

Once you try these helmets we guarantee you'll never go back to any other noggin setup. Both the Retractable & Gedi also come with interchangeable lenses, which can be purchased in different colors.

Gath also offers custom painted helmets if you want to give yours even more unique personality, or you can contact a local artist (use any automotive paint or spray that is suitable for use on a polycarbonate plastic - lightly sand the surface before spraying to minimize marks or blemishes showing through).
