Anyone using them other than the x stream? Looking for a new lid and have heard good things. What are people's opinions on some of their other models?
Thanks,
Brad

Good Lids.
I have a FNA WW2. Great helmet, I would buy it again. Plan on spending some time to properly fit it to your head using the fit kit, but once you have done so, it fits great and won't move.
The shell is absolutely bomb proof, the stiffest shells I have seen so far.
The padding is ok, I personally wish they would use ensolite (sp?) or a similar foam instead of the minicell, but I have taken a few really hard hits to my head in it, like hitting the diamond splitter on Funnel on the Bottom Moose while upside down
and all I had to show for were a few scratches in the paint.

They are awesome.
I have a guide and I like it for a less restrictive helmet. All the models are pretty good. Out here in BC, everyone paddles with FNA.
Cheers, Jan
