Honestly, what a disappointment.
It looks great aesthetically, but in actual surf conditions it feels almost useless. On the first duck dive, the helmet immediately flipped backward onto my neck. That means if your board comes flying back at you, the “helmet” is no longer protecting your head at all.
Even just jumping through a wave caused it to shift backward again. It simply doesn’t stay in position, which defeats the whole purpose of impact protection while surfing.
Another issue is that the hat itself isn’t securely attached to the plastic helmet section, so the whole setup feels unstable in the water.
I already own standard surf hats with similar protective designs that hold much better.
For a product at this price point, I expected something functional, not just good-looking.
