We want to be able to provide the finest protection available for your eyes and head and need some user feedback. In the eye department we have found that regular sunglasses (particularly Oakley)seem to be a favorite of many of the top sailors on America's Cup boats (we figure these guys sail everyday and need max protection) and the BARZ have caught favor with the extreme sailing crowd like VOLVO OCEAN RACE and THE RACE participants.
<br>
<br>What do you folks wear to stop the UV/IR and wind abrasion of the cornea which is becoming a bigger concern for those over 30 years of age?
<br>
<br>If you could improve one thing about your eye protection gear, what would that be?
<br>
<br>On head protection: We have actually sold a lot of the GATH helmets to KITE BOARDERS and to surfers but the sailing crowd in the US doesn't seem to care for helmets in general. What do you wear to keep your head warm and safe?
<br>
<br>Thank you in advance for your replies!
