Enjoy your sport longer
Many outdoor sports participants who are in their 30’s, today suffer eye, ear and skin problems which are the result of time hard at it without adequate protection from the elements since their mid to late teens.
With youngsters as young as 6 or 7 already quickly progressing in most sports today, the potential for such problems is greatly increased and with it the potential for long term health disorders particularly as it’s apparent that something’s are getting harsher in our environments. Add to that the high level of radical performance that today’s sports demand and there is a clear-cut case that using adequate protection is a smart alternative. Non use of adequate protective gear must increase the risk of injury. Avoid years of pain, medical expense and possible fatal injury and enjoy your sport longer!
Best travel insurance
Nothing will ruin your holidays as quickly as accidental head injury, (even minor cuts requiring stitches), especially when travelling to remote areas. The Gath helmet is an inexpensive form of insurance that may minimise the risk of injury and help ensure a good time.
Reduce the risk of head injury
Treatment for head injury can be painful, costly and complicated. Wearing a Gath helmet will help prevent serious injury and could save your life.
Extra confidence
Many users of Gath say wearing head protection provides extra confidence to really go for it.
Please note that while Gath Headgear offers some protection against impact injury and may build confidence, it is no substitute for common sense and may not afford protection from serious injury or death. Gath Headgear is not recommended for use on roads or highways or for use as a crash helmet.
Avoid ear ache
Gath's unique audio system opens to improve hearing and ventilation or
closes to shut out cold wind chill to help avoid earache and long-term ear problems.
Gath performs so well
After a few sessions, Gath performs so well you forget you're wearing anything on your head.
Like most equipment, it takes a little getting used to. At first the sensation of having your head enclosed is strange but quickly you feel comfortable in Gath. Use your Gath a few times before making any judgements about it, especially in water sports - and soon you will feel naked without it. Certainly the high usage of Gath by many pros and freestyle extremists is proof that Gath makes sense and is ideal for many sports.
