GATH helmet order? - BWD fundraiser

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

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

Great Kus! I will have to figure out a way to get it from you. I live in Mill Bay. Go Canucks!

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.

interested, but need to measure up for a fit, is there an order date rolling around in your cranium?

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)
