Does anyone have any experience in making a white water kayak helmet??
I have made the plug and the mold but my test helmet came out still quite flexible?
just wondering on recommendations for layup specs to get a solid helmet suitable for kayaking. I know that it is probably just a case of more is better but I am trying to keep weight down as much as possible as it is a race helmet after all thats why i want to go the composite route.
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Toby
