LFT shell technology combines nylon and long fiberglass to make the shell super-tough with a great balance of elasticity and rigidity, and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer in the front of the helmet increases impact protection while maintaining a light weight. An EVA liner absorbs impacts without cracking, even in cold temperatures. Occigrip construction makes the helmet easily adjustable to provide a secure, yet comfortable fit that won't shift when you get tumbled in turbulent waters. Comfort pads provide a cushy feel and wick moisture, and the Strutter comes with two pad thicknesses so you can choose the one that's best for you.

I was worried at first that this would be too warm, as it has no ventilation holes. So far that hasn't been a problem. This helmet looks really sharp, fits comfortably (I'm glad I didn't get a larger size) and is easy to forget about when I'm out on the efoil, which is just what I wanted. It's like its not there until I take a tumble, and I've taken some hard falls where I was really glad it was there. Would highly recommend.

I wanted to love this helmet, I really did. It is easily the most stylish kayaking helmet out there and when I was looking to upgrade my gear, it was my first choice. However, as soon as I tried it on, I could feel it pressing hard against the sides of my head. The front and back fit fine, but overall, it was so painful I had to take it off after just a few minutes. I tried it on again a couple of times, and I even tried to remove some of the padding, but in the end, it was just too tight on the sides. I ended up returning my size small-medium and ordered a new size medium-large instead, hoping that would fix the problem. Well the larger helmet definitely didn't squeeze the size of my head, but of course now the font and back didn't come even close to a snug fit. Ended up returning the larger size as well. My advise is, if at all possible, find a store to try this on at before you buy. I hope Sweet redesigns this helmet in the future. A wider shell with more padding would help this helmet fit more people.

Do not buy this helmet if you have a rounder head shape. It will squeeze your temples. This goes for pretty much any Sweet Protection helmet really.

Used this helmet in the surf. It is comfortable and protected my head when the waves got the better of me.

The best of all the various helmets I’ve used over 27 years of guiding the New and Gauley rivers. Can’t beat the quality or comfort. The best personality protector I’ve owned.

Great fit and love the style. I ordered from the retailer Backcountry and received the helmet in four days rather than the estimated 12 days. shame on FedEx for destroying the Outside box which resulted in the helmet’s box getting smushed. This is not the retailers fault and the only reason why bothers me is that I like to store things in the original box.
