I have a plain helmet that I use. I think it was a 'general sports helmet' or something like that. It does not have a face shield either, however.

I hope you werent injured too badly, and heal up quick!

: Sorry sage, I've no Idea.

: I have been wondering if there is a reason (other than to not look like a
: throw back, fashon monster, etc) to not use a Hockey helmet, which you
: could fit a full face cage on.

: I think a friend of a friend did somethig simillar to you. he flipped, and
: ended up dragging his face down several meters of rocky river bottom. He
: really damaged his face, I don't think he kayaks any more.

: Hope you heal fully, and soon

: Myrl.
