What helmet is most popular with these organisations?

The open-face helmet is a favoured choice among the environmental organisation due to its exceptional flexibility and high-performance features. This lightweight helmet offers unparalleled protection, surpassing other marine helmets in terms of safety, having been rigorously tested in extreme conditions. The helmet can be equipped with either a visor or goggles to shield the wearer from sea spray and harsh weather elements. Its inflatable liner provides added warmth, comfort, buoyancy, and the ability to adjust the fit to accommodate a wide range of head sizes. Custom Gecko helmets are made-to-order, allowing you to create a fleet of matching, highly visible, reflective, and fully branded helmets for your team, ensuring both safety and a professional appearance.
