With WTR Icon, surfers can challenge waves of consequence around the globe with more confidence, a heightened degree of protection and an overall less inhibited experience, allowing them to push their performance to new levels.
"Even top pro surfers can have a wipeout that changes their life forever. But when it comes to wearing a helmet, surfers are still torn," said Team Oakley Athlete Griffin Colapinto.

Oakley has always been a step ahead of the competition, and a helmet this good could definitely change the mindset around helmets in the surf community."
Rated 4 stars in Virginia Tech’s Helmet Lab, featuring an EN-1385 white water certification and D3O® technology, the best-in-class helmet is made from strong Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and is designed to absorb impact, disperse energy, and reduce blunt force trauma. Its unique shell design prevents disorientation and drag in the water and with open ventilation, surfers can easily maneuver through and under water even while duck diving, allowing for immediate drainage upon reaching the surface. Complete with adjustable and removable ear protection, engineered to maintain hearing, prevent cuts and protect against eardrum blowouts, the helmet allows surfers to stay aware of their surroundings, make split-second decisions, and always be in control.
