In sailing, feeling the wind is everything. That’s why we’ve chosen the Gath Surf Convertible (SFC) as our go-to helmet for sailing — a high-performance, low-profile design that lets you stay connected to your environment while offering serious head protection when conditions turn.

Trusted by elite sailors like Caitlin Elks, who has worn the SFC in international competition, this helmet delivers the perfect balance between safety, comfort, and sensory connection to the elements.

Protection When You Need It, Freedom When You Want It

The SFC’s convertible ear protectors are what make it ideal for sailing. On hot days or when you want to fully tune into the wind, water, and voice cues around you, simply remove the ear covers for open, natural hearing. When conditions cool or when you’re expecting impact — pop them back on for extra warmth and protection.

This kind of versatility is what makes the SFC more than just a helmet. It’s an essential piece of sailing gear that adapts to you and your environment.
