The perfect solution to dinghy sailing helmets and ideal for all other water activity where a simple stylish and practical solution head protection is required.
We gave this to my 18 year old nephew who is a water sports enthusiast, surfing, windsurfing and spear fishing in all seasons, he absolutely loves it! he said the sun protection is great and its brilliant when a wetsuit isn't needed.... great product! thank you we will now be purchasing another for his younger brother!
Excellent improvement on a helmet, as increased visibility when looking at the sails. I was forever adjusting the helmet, despite it fitting properly. Admiring glances at tge sailing club, and queries as to where it was purchased. Great, prompt, service from the seller.
Very impressed with the Vaikobi boot: position of zip makes getting boot on & off much easier than some other makes I’ve had previously, whilst fastenings give a secure and snug fit. The underfoot grip seems very good too. I haven’t had them long, but the materials and construction give me the impression of quality and I imagine they will be very durable.
Fast delivery of a great looking boot.
Seem well made.
Toe box is very high volume, should be good for wearing wetsuit socks in winter but too much volume for my feet in summer. But i did buy them as a winter boot anyway.
Real good for kitesurfing and Wingfoiling, the stiff brim at the front stops the it from flopping in your face when it's wet and windy. It could do with an adjustable head band and a better quality buckle.
