We review the Soft<br />
Surf Helmet (SSH) by DMC Fins.<br />
When this product arrived at our office we knew just<br />
the man for the job, our mate Pat Quirk, aka Helmet.<br />
Not only does he don a Gath helmet no matter the<br />
condition, he recently took up shooting and is now<br />
regularly seen wearing camo. Alas, we were too close<br />
to our print deadline so there no time to post it across<br />
the Tasman for review. We had to find a new gear<br />
tester despite some saying they would rather sustain<br />
a brain injury. We don’t know what they’re on about.<br />
You merely look like a rugby player who’s got lost on<br />
their way to the scrum.<br />
The SSH gives good protection for those undertaking<br />
extreme sports like big wave surfing or power foiling<br />
(read our story a little further on). Not only that, it<br />
keeps your head warm (shout out to our southern Oz<br />
and Kiwi readers), protects the ears, keeps the sun off<br />
your neck and the flip peak gives you some protection<br />
from the sun. We’ve even insisted our sales rep Simon<br />
dons it in the office having run into the corner of our<br />
front door, head first, on more than one occasion. So<br />
many uses.<br />
