Makers of the "Sweetest"
Kayaking Helmets |
|
|
|
Sweet is based in Norway. They are specialised in making thermoplast reinforced
composite helmets for whitewater paddlers and snow skiers. Sweet helmets are extremely
lightweight but absolutely though and the only composite helmets in New Zealand that
carry
the CE EN1385 Safety Certification. The inner foam fitting is purposely designed with head
protection in mind and doesn't just consist of a thin layer of glued-in foam.
We have a
number of different colour and size options of the following
models:
-
Rocker Full Cut
-
NEW
Wanderer
-
Strutter

Rocker Full Cut (Creeking/Whitewater)
The
Rocker is designed with ultimate safety in mind. This model
features a moto-cross inspired, 15 degrees adjustable,
visor (removable). It may just be our most versatile whitewater helmet yet, and definitely the choice for the big days. The Rocker's special
2-piece design consists of a top shell formed from our exclusive TEPEX material, fixed to
a lower occipital frame made of ultra-tough polycarbonate. A slightly larger shell allows
us to to pack an injection moulded EPP shock absorbing impact liner inside. The Rocker's
PC occipital frame has a small beak to shield your face from the sun, the water, and those
surprisingly hard cockpit rims. Two ventilation slots in the front and back of the
occipital frame can be opened or shut with sliders to allow cooling off in soaring summer
temperatures. Removable earpads.
Sizes: M/L (56-59cm), L/XL (59-62cm).
Weight: 500g
RRP: NZ$ 469.00
Current
colour options as of December 2011:
M/L: Dirt Black, Gloss White,
Lime Green, Flash Blue
L/XL: Dirt Black, Gloss White, Lime Green,
Flash Blue

Strutter
(Whitewater/Freestyle)
TEPEX®
Carbonfibre construction for lightweight and extra strength.
The original Sweet Helmet.
Inspired by the most functional headwear of all time (the
American baseball cap) the Strutter was first introduced
back in ‘96 to an uproar in the international kayaking
industry. Since then the helmet has proven again and again
its superior functionality and safety for kayakers all over
the world. Safety is our primary issue, and even though the
Strutter might look like a piece of clothing, it will keep
you safe shredding your local playspot as well as when
cruisin’ the classics. It’s safe, it’s super slim, it’s
comfortable and it’s way cool, what more can you ask of a
helmet?
Latest news: The Strutter has highly improved fit, comfort
and safety standards. This is made possible by the
introduction of an EPP padding, with a 3 mm comfort foam and
soft velour lining, and a new thermoformed neck piece.
