Ricky Hutchinson (Christchurch, New Zealand) I found the strutter helmet a great option for me mainly for the sun as the helmet acts as a cap shielding from sun glare. The fit adjustable at the back with easy release.

When you’re river running or playboating in summer sun, the Sweet Strutter delivers unmatched protection in a style of its own. With its built-in baseball-cap-style brim, it shields your face from sun, splashes, and even face-on impacts. But don’t be fooled by imitators: this isn’t just a fashion helmet. Under the sleek silhouette is a rugged LFT (Long-Fibre Thermoplastic) shell combined with a carbon-reinforced frontal plate for serious protection where you need it most. The EVA liner absorbs shocks without adding bulk, and the engineered Occigrip fit system locks it all in place securely and comfortably. The Strutter remains a favourite for paddlers who want reliable impact performance in a lightweight, breathable form — especially when paddling in warm weather. For many playboaters, raft guides, and summer whitewater paddlers, there’s simply no better option.
