NRS Chaos Full-Cut Kayak Helmet

There are two issues I've experienced. First, the adjustable buckle behind the head that is suppose to ensure a good fit, but it tends to become lose. Hence, the helmet becomes wobbly and wouldn't stay in place. When I tried the helmet for about 10 minutes, I've noticed the buckle has already loosen from the position when I first adjusted. I pulled on the buckle with light force and it seems incapable of staying at the desired position. Second, size XL seems smaller than other XL from other brands, at least for the shape of my head. Hence, I decided to return it. This brings up a third issue. I didn't see any details telling me that I would be responsible for return shipping fees. I was simply given a return label. Yet, $5 was deducted from my original payment when the merchant received the returned helmet. I feel this is somewhat misleading. I should've been informed that I would be responsible for the amount of shipping fees during the time I initiated the return. NOT just deduct whatever fees in the hindsight.

It's a good helmet for the price, but you do kinda get what you pay for. I land right in the sweet size for a medium, but the ear covers are really tight...and I have small ears! If the ear covers were slightly more accommodating, I would feel more comfortable in this helmet and would have sprung for 5 stars.

Have tried a few and this one fits in size XL, even though my head is a L for most hats.My goggles/recspecs and a thin neoprene hood all fit underneath.Will try a salalmander beak visor on it.Not that expensive.

You only have to get slammed into a rock underwater, in the ear, one time to learn that a full coverage helmet is the best. This one is a reasonable price and the yellow is nice and bright.

great for Kite surfing but rivets rusted a little

I would five star It but water gets stuck in the back of the helmet when you crash and it sloshes around a bit
