The world's first Virginia Tech rated soft surf helmet
Sjø Protection's story
We know the struggle of head injuries in water sports. Four years ago, our founder Thomas sustained his first long-lasting concussion from water sports. He struggled to find a helmet that offered both good protection and was so comfortable that it didn’t feel like a compromise. Since Thomas is a mechanical engineer, he designed and built the Sjø Protection Helmet to meet his needs, which, it turns out, also fulfills the needs of many other water sports lovers.
Even though our helmet is soft, it protects you from sharp objects
We achieve this by using Kevlar, the same material used in bulletproof vests.
Kevlar helmet
The helmet with Kevlar stops the sharp object.
Non-Kevlar helmet
The helmet without Kevlar gets completely punctured by the sharp object.
Why we use Kevlar
This protects you from sharp rocks, fins, reefs, and foils.
High performance SAS-Tec impact material
The Sjø Protection helmet uses high-performance viscoelastic impact foam from SAS-Tec. This is the same material used in mountain biking and motorcycling protection.
