I am writing just about a saved brain by a Gath Gedi. The owner experienced a nasty swim on a class4 rocky river. She injured seriously on her hands but her head remained in perfect condition. Keep up the good work, we trust in Gedis since January.

JUNE 2007 “First of all I must say the Gath Gedi is practically made for wingsuit skydivers and base jumpers alike. The body position used while flying a wingsuit, with your chin near your chest and your eyes looking up and forward toward your forehead, is protected from the wind by the design of the visor. This might not work as well for normal skydivers and freeflyers who freefall in various inverted positions, but it works great with a wingsuit. A common headache in skydiving and base jumping alike is having to put your goggles down in the plane or on a cliff before jumping. The goggles begin to fog up immediately and I find many people having to hold their goggles off their face until jumping. The Gedi provides a simple solution by only having to slide down the visor shortly before jumping and it doesn't fog up either way. I am surprised to say that the visor actually stays in place quite well even while jumping out of a plane and all the wind associated with it. Combined with the minimalist look and simple design I imagine many wingsuiters will find the helmet appealing.” 24 SEPTEMBER Following jumps in Switzerland including the famous Mt Eiger I completed 49 jumps in 3 weeks. Two of those jumps were off the mushroom on the Eiger, a famous jump for base jumpers. And we did it twice in a day! Not bad for a 3 hours sketchy hike. The clear visor is working awesome. Not sure if it's because I'm being more careful with it, or it wears better then the smoke one, but I have zero issues with visibility. Also, while in Italy I was able to make a wingsuit demo jump out of a tandem paraglider into the acro...

I found myself in the same position as Dan Heyworth not so long ago having to make the decision between two helmets. I kept hurting my neck from capsizing in my Strutter and the forces on the peak kept causing it to rotate exposing my forehead. As I was starting to push myself a little I decided a more creeking orientated helmet was in order and I tried quite a few lids regarding fit. I originally really wanted a Rocker but the sizing didn't work for me and I found it uncomfortable and the back of my head. At this point I looked elsewhere and found the Gedi. I haven't looked back. I personally have never used the visor to protect my face I have however used it when paddling into the sun late in the day when I couldn't see for the glare of the water. It fits MY head securely and I PERSONALLY find the coverage practically faultless. I recently received one of the biggest hits I've ever had with a helmet where I was front looped into a concrete wall after mucking up a hammer on a 12 foot drop. The impact was good enough to chip a fairly large chunk on concrete off the wall and onto my deck however I walked away with nothing but a sore neck. I'm happy this helmet will save my life and I've just ordered one for the girlfriend. My advice is this... IF you are looking for a helmet then give it a try; make your own mind up.... it comes in more size options than any other lid I know of and a good fit is (in my mind) one of the most important things when choosing a helmet?!

GEDI PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE IN CYCLING ACCIDENT (Nevertheless…Gath caution that the Gedi is not designed for use on roads or highways or for use as a crash helmet or similar activities requiring a high level of impact protection.) The new Gedi with extra paddling probably saved my life on Sunday! I was actually using it while mountain biking. I came off my bike when a sharp right turn approached too fast on a gravel surface. I was doing about 50km/hr - 30mph when I hit a ditch and I eventually hit my head on a rock. The helmet absorbed the impact very well. It was comfortable the entire time. I must say hats off to you guys. I love it and have total confidence in it now after that crash. I was always wondering if they'd hold up to an impact like this while steep creeking. I've answered that question for myself:) I wasn't injured at all. My friends couldn't believe I didn't break my neck or get hurt at all! I was told it was a very spectacular crash. Too bad I don't have it on tape! My friends also couldn't believe 1. The helmet was not broken and 2. I didn't break my neck or have any concussion. The padding in that helmet felt great I must say! It looks bad on my behalf wearing your helmets while out biking I know, but that Gedi was so comfortable and light weight I figured it would do until I got a full face helmet when I can afford it.

I am currently on a three and a half month Kayaking trip around Europe, before I left England I was lucky enough to purchase a Gath (Gedi) helmet. So far I have visited Corsica, France and am currently in Italy moving on to Switzerland, Austria and Norway. I just wanted to say how well the helmet is holding up and how much interest I have had regarding the helmet. Whilst in Corsica I ran a 10metre vertical waterfall, unfortunately on the landing I hit a rock just under the water with my head and shoulder, my shoulder took two weeks to recover from the impact but I felt nothing on my head!! So big thanks to Gath, they have saved me from what could have been a serious injury to my head. The interest has been huge everywhere so far, I get stopped everyday on the water asking where I got the helmet and where they can get one.

Dan Heyworth

Firstly, I've been really impressed with the helmet’s performance, whilst wearing the helmet recently I took my biggest ever head impact. I landed on my head in the surf from over 2m into less than a 30cm of water on the reef, I managed to hurt my back and neck a bit, but my head escaped any injury, The helmet certainly did its job, you can see how much the helmet flexed/ absorbed during the impact from the scratches. I think it certainly saved my life or at least prevented me from getting a more serious injury.

TESTIMONIAL FROM THE LEGENDARY DAN GAVERE (Dan was on the US Freestyle Kayak team in '93, '95, '97, '99 and '01 and the Team Manager and Coach for the 3 World Champs in Austria when USA won 2 Gold Medals and basically dominated the event. In 1993 Dan was 2nd place in the Freestyle event which really fuelled his passion and career in paddle sports. After that he did a ton of paddling, photography and moved to production becoming the first full time sponsored freestyle kayaker in the history of the sport.) Dan writes "I am loving the Helmet I wore it virtually everyday last week. 3 days of extreme kayaking on the Little White Salmon here near my house. I love the way the ear vents open and close. They really help from violent flips straight onto my ear while paddling. The water is super cold and I have to wear ear plugs because my ears are 95% closed from surfers ear/exostosis. I love how light the helmet is and the new style is much better than the older style Gath's . I am concerned about how I look while paddling because of my reputation... I paddled with about 30 different people over the 3 days and we had visitors from allover the world and country in town for a big movie premier. Lot were looking at and asking about it. Luckily I didn't have to use and stayed mostly upright the whole time. I also used it for 2 days over the weekend while stand up surfing some rather big waves on the Oregon coast. I really like the visibility out of the helmet and the ear vents open allowed me to have a bit of cooling because I was too hot with all the rubber I was...

Flashback to 1993 when we took our first trip to G-Land in Java and I wore one of the first visor Gath helmets. During my 2nd wave I hit the reef which left a huge gouge mark on my helmet, which would have been my head if I had not been wearing your helmet! It saved my life. Back in 1993 there was no internet, phone calls from G-Land, so it was difficult at best. A major injury like this was a MAJOR problem and I'm glad I was wearing a Gath Helmet. Thank you!

You can see that the helmet has stood the test of time, considering it has conservatively been used 4-5 hours per week, every week up to about two years ago! That equates to 2500 hours of use. The only times it wasn't used regularly was when I was using one of your original full face visor helmets, which I keep with my gear in NZ to use in cold southern waters of Otago/Southland. In the years prior to getting the Gedi, the original had the same hours racked up weekly! Now that full face normally gets 3-4 hours daily whenever I am over in NZ either surfing, kayaking or catamaran sailing. Over the years I have managed to convert a large number of my elderly surfing mates to the comfort and advantages of your products.

I’m a 66 year old surfer (I started surfing at age 57) and prior to surfing I was a body surfer from age 7 to 57 About 8 years ago I got clocked by my board which resulted in two staples in my head. I ordered my first Gath helmet shortly after that. I purchased my second helmet about 3 years ago. Well long story made shorter, I took a really HARD HIT from my board on the left side of my head. My brain was rattled. Without the helmet I may have been brain dead, paralysed or dead. It actually knocked out the ear covering. I didn’t go for medical attention, even though I should have. However I was feeling the effects for 3 weeks. I was foggy and had some headaches. I am so grateful for the Gath Helmet. I’m now looking to perhaps get the EVA Surf Helmet. Thanks to everyone on the Gath team! I was spared a horrible injury!

I am a older surfer (66 years old) and have been surfing with hats and helmets for about 20 years now. A visit to an eye specialist a couple of decades ago confronted me with the choice have an operation followed by radioactive drops and it might not even work or protect your eyes. What followed was a series of prototype protection strategies culminating with a Gath helmet plus a half visor giving me many years of ear, eye and skin protection (I'm now as bald as Peter Garrett). I still like charging sizeable waves and with the helmet I have extra confidence. Just one hit (my own board) wrecked my helmet a few years ago but probably saved my life. Surfing crowds and there are plenty of them in my home town of Byron Bay the Gath is a must.

I tried the RV helmet in the surf with the Go-Pro camera on it for the first time yesterday and it fits and felt perfect. I had read comments somewhere, and some people said it takes a little getting used to it, but it was perfect right away. While paddling out with the visor I didn’t get the sensation of the waves slapping me or the pressure on my face, head and eyes. It was great. Once out in the line up I could lift the visor a little if I wanted. The waves where small and onshore slop but it was great.
