Face mask question!

Post by EHJ22 »

Hey,

Where are good places to buy face masks or chin guards? I have a shred ready helmet and I don't know if I can get one that attaches to the helmet or if you have to buy a new helmet all together. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I wear the Cascade full cut helmet with facemask. I am very pleased with the helmet. WRSI has a great helmet out that has a removable chin guard that protects against front impact but releases if it were to catch on anything. Check out www.whitewaterhelmet.com. I think if I were buying one today I would go with the WRSI - I like that it releases if it were to get snagged and the fact I can remove it when it isn't needed.

Cascade also sells face masks that can be bolted onto full cut helmets. I'm not sure if your helmet is full cut or not.

I just bought this http://www.shredready.com/products/standardff.html it seems pretty cool. I'll try it out this weekend for the first time.
Envelope – Free stationary taken from the Marriott while on a business trip.
Snowflake address label – sent to me free and had to be used up.
Stained glass stamp – It was more then three feet away from me when I decided to get them so you know I didn’t see them clearly
Butterfly and Sunflower stickers on the back – Also free and required because the glue on the envelope was so old it no longer stuck.

Dam I wish I had never clicked on that now I have to buy that blue carbon helmet. It matches my new boat perfectly. Alas
Kayak-$1000 dollars...........Gas for the shuttle $60 dollars..........Watching your friends get munched by a bus-sized hole.......PRICELESS.

I have the attachable face mask similar to this and it has been great. You may look like an special needs person on the river but who gives a hoot. We're not in a fashion show.

I got the wRSI For the boy and am pleased with it. It also seems to be the best priced and methodically researched helmet. But maybe I have been taken in by their marketing.

Check it out!
