One Helmet for Everything: The GATH RGM is Now Dual-Certified for Concrete and Water Sports

 

When it comes to multi-sport safety, athletes and organisations have long faced a challenge: different helmets for different environments. Skateparks, BMX tracks, rollerblading circuits, paddling, water sports — each has its own safety standards, and until now, no single helmet could truly cover both.

Enter the GATH RGM, a helmet built to redefine what a multi-sport helmet can do. Originally launched last year for concrete sports such as skateboarding, BMX, and rollerblading, it quickly gained a reputation for exceptional quality, comfort, and protection. Now, the RGM reaches a new level: it is officially certified for water sports under EN 1385 and has earned a 5-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, one of the world’s most respected independent helmet performance evaluations. This dual recognition makes the RGM one of the very few helmets globally capable of safely protecting athletes in both land and water environments.

 

Why This Dual Certification Matters

The RGM is now one of the very few helmets in the world approved for both concrete and water-based sports. For schools, clubs, and associations that teach multiple sports, this opens huge opportunities: fewer helmets to stock, simplified logistics, and consistent safety standards across disciplines.

The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab’s 5-star rating underscores the RGM’s ability to reduce concussion risk through advanced impact protection. Coupled with EN 1385 certification, the helmet now guarantees athletes are protected whether they’re dropping into a skate ramp or riding waves in a kayak.

Features Built for Multi-Sport Performance

• Lightweight and Adjustable: Only 278 grams, with a “Technology Roller Size Adjuster” and interchangeable padding to fit juniors and adults comfortably.

• Durable Protection: Engineered EPS foam and polycarbonate shell absorb impacts effectively.

• Comfortable Fit: Sweat-absorbing internal liners and multiple padding options ensure long-lasting comfort.

• Stylish and Versatile: Sleek design suitable for both concrete and water sports environments.

The Game-Changer for Multi-Sport Programs

For any organisation running multi-sport activities, the RGM simplifies equipment management while maintaining top-tier safety. Schools can now provide one helmet that covers skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, surfing, and kayaking. Parents and athletes benefit from a single helmet they can trust in all environments.

The RGM proves that safety and convenience can coexist. Its dual certification is not just a technical achievement — it’s a practical solution for modern multi-sport lifestyles.

 

Safety and Versatility for Kids: Peace of Mind for Parents

For parents, nothing is more important than their child’s safety — whether they’re skating at the park, riding a BMX, or learning to paddle on the water. The GATH RGM is uniquely designed to meet the demands of active kids while giving parents peace of mind.

Multi-Sport Protection for Kids
The RGM is one of the few helmets certified for both concrete and water sports, meaning children can safely switch from skateboarding to kayaking without compromising protection. Its advanced EPS foam and durable polycarbonate shell absorb impacts effectively, reducing the risk of head injuries in both environments.

Adjustable Fit That Grows With Your Child
Thanks to the Technology Roller Size Adjuster and interchangeable padding, the RGM can be easily adapted as a child grows. Parents won’t need to buy multiple helmets year after year — this helmet fits juniors and adolescents comfortably while keeping safety standards intact.

Why Certification Matters
Choosing a certified helmet is crucial for kids. EN 1385 for water sports and the Virginia Tech Lab 5-star rating ensure the helmet meets rigorous impact, retention, and safety standards. Unlike non-certified helmets, the RGM is scientifically tested to protect young athletes in real-world scenarios, giving parents confidence that their child is properly safeguarded during every activity.

Peace of Mind for Every Adventure
Parents can now invest in one helmet that truly covers all sports, reducing stress while ensuring children are protected at all times. With the RGM, kids can safely explore, play, and learn — and parents can rest easy knowing their helmet is up to the highest standards.
