GATH helmet order? - BWD fundraiser

Post by KUS »

I have had several requests for the GATH helmets but have not restocked as these are difficult to keep an inventory when you have a certain color, size and style needs.
If any kiter, windsurfer, kayaker wanted to let me know style and color, size preference and I get sufficient numbers (minimum 15) I can make this happen. Might be the single best investment you ever made... :roll:

Surfhat & Convertible (neoprene or foam forehead, pick neo for large foreheads) $89*ImageImage
Gedi (kayak safety/impact standard approved, also better fit for rounder heads) $100*Image
Fixed or Retractable visor $139*
Removable visor 1/2face and sun shade available
$10 for "carbon" look color
http://www.gathsports.com/productsbycategory.php

*price is in Australian Dollars and does not include the wonderful HST; it does include shipping to Victoria and brokerage

ImageImageImage
Helmets come with protective mesh bag and a fitting kit for Gedi's. Ear/head vents can be closed for additional protection for water impacts/winter. Their advantage over other helmets is .....well, everything :lol: .....including their aqua dynamics (no wrenched necks), superior fit and super light weight 8)

$10 for every helmet sold goes to the BWD site so Dave can travel to Oz and pose for a photo with Christine (above) pls order by SUNDAY MAY 8, 2011

Small visor on Gath helmet

Post by goflyakite »

Hi Kus, I bought a Gath helmet about a year ago and it has been really good. I got the Jedi with the small sun plastic sun shade that sits above your eyebrows. Anyway, I took a major head first wipeout (almost epic) while kiting in Baja a month ago. As a result I ripped the small plastic visor right off the helme t.Can you order one of the small sun visors if you end up following thru on this? Thanks Mark

I'll take one. I'm tired of having my ear channels plugged with high-pressure water. Neoprene head shape I guess. If there is a colour choice, yellow, or orange, or some other high-vis the SARTECHs can see.

I have one but it doesn't fit over my hood so I'd like to order one of the surf hats with the neoprene over the forehead in size XL. Colour: 1st choice white, 2nd - silver.
My other hobby is channel surfing

hi all - despite only receiving three orders I still got the shipment sitting here so if anyone needs a new, proper lid that doesn't wreak havoc with their necks or field of vision, feel free to pm me or call 812-6756 and leave me a message. :D

Might be the best investment of yer life 8)
