Helmet and visor

A longer visor would be great in relation to the sun, especially since the visor is “soft” (no risk of accident)

Great helmet

Worn at every session for 1 year and am delighted with it. Robust, holds well in place, does not slip from the back even when doing duck dives under solid waves. Only point to improve for me: the look. I recently fell for a helmet from another brand for its all-purpose look (it looks like a simple hat, (but with the protective frame clearly present). However, it does not match the Olaian for its robustness, its finishes and its comfort I just like it for its great look. I would love to see a version of the Olain with a hat/bucket design so that it is even more "low profile".

Well made, practical and comfortable, it guarantees good protection. I recommend it

Top helmet for the water

The helmet offers effective protection against blows and impacts. The helmet is made of a material that is incredibly hard when hit, but can be changed safely with gentle pressure. It is light and super comfortable and the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. I use the helmet for wing foiling.

Given for 58/60 the L tightens me a little while I am 59...the chin strap must be well stretched otherwise major skin irritations. Afterwards, to open the skull well beforehand, I put up with these inconveniences.

Great soft helmet - need to size up though

A great soft surf style helmet that hardens upon impact, but is soft and flexible otherwise. I normally wear a size small helmet or hat (at least in North America), but needed a medium in this brand.

Alright

Warning.

This product limits the surfer’s injuries such as scalp wounds and impacts that cause superficial effects.No protective equipment can offer total protection from injury.The effectiveness of the protection can be reduced as a result of extended exposure to extreme temperatures (below -10°C, above 50°C).

Recommendations for use

Wearing this protection should not stop you from respecting the safety guidelines and priority rules associated with surfing.For maximum protection, the helmet should be adjusted to the user’s head with the help of the support system in the chin and neck area.Try different sizes in order to select one that best matches the size of your head.

Restrictions

This helmet can be used during recreational surf sessions in normal conditions, but not for motorised sports or surfing in very large waves.The test protocol is valid for recreational surfing only. As such, its use in any other water sport ( foil, wake, kite, etc.) is at the user's own risk.

Sizes

S (head circumference 52-54 cm)M (head circumference 55-57 cm)L (head circumference 58-64 cm)XL (head circumference 60-64 cm)The sizes given are for guidance, as the helmet is soft.
