Helmets by Gath

Since 1989, thousands of users, including professional and recreational surfers, whitewater paddlers, kiteboarders, skydivers and rescue service personnel, have benefited from Australian Ric Gath’s lightweight, close-fitting headgear.

Why should you choose a Gath helmet?

• Small and round size and shape to prevent “bucketing” or snagging. Big helmets with hard flairs or “lips” or large “peaks” can scoop water or grab rocks or reef.
• Maximum coverage, including lower cranium and ears.
• Face and eye protection is a big bonus!
• Light weight, both wet or dry, reduces neck strain.
• Full peripheral vision with no blind spots.
• Helps prevent water from draining over your eyes when emerging from water.
• Secure fit, including proper size and a buckle system that does not permit helmet to become dislodged or displaced. If your helmet comes off, it's no good!
• Appropriate materials and hardware like closed cell foam that doesn't absorb water and stainless steel that doesn't rust.
• 3-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Warning: Wearing headgear offers some protection and may build confidence. However, it is no substitute for common sense and may not prevent serious injury or death. GATH Headgear is not recommended for use as a crash helmet on roads or highways. Gath recommends that the audio vents be closed during any watersports action and that they be opened only at times when water pressure induced ear injury is not a possibility and full audibility is desirable.
