I am using a Pryme full face helmet. I like it but it is getting beaten looking so it is time for a new one. I wanted a full face but one with out water absorbing pads inside I don't know if one like that is out there any suggestions? What do you all use?

Kayak helmet? There are full face ones out. Predator might have one.

I use a Predator Shiznit kayak helmet. Very comfy (and light). It has a visor, which keeps the sun out of your eyes. I also has a cool carbon look (if you like that, that is). Since I am a mere cruiser in my buggy, it should do. If you go airborne and such, it will probably no be the right choice.

I use a ProTec Ace Wake. designed for competition wakeboarding. they are also used for kayaking so you can buy them at REI for about $40 bucks or you can do what I did and buy a used one off of ebay for $15.

looks like a quality built helmet. I haven't smashed my head against anything yet though so I'm not sure how well it works. the main thing I like about this helmet is all of the vents on it. they keep your head cool and when you hit the water it helps reduce impact.

it also comes with removeable snap in ear protection.

thanks all! I like the look of the Predator full face. I hope to pick one up sometime in the near future! Thanks again!
