I wanted my surfing helmet to be a little more identifiable. a little more.... disco.
This is a Gath helmet covered with mirrored acrylic squares 1/4"x1/4" cut on a laser cutter. Glued with some glue that works really well It is clear and flexible. i think it is a urethane glue.

But then if you're going surfing... There's bound to be marine life down there... And you've lost a "handful" of those shiny, attractive, eye-catching, marine live loved squares. And the squares are sharp and are made with all sorts of dangerous materials... That just doesn't add up to be a good thing.

And I shall use the idea on my paragliding helmet to advise the planes I am in their space. Thanks.

A great idea for combatting riptides from hell. No need to wave for help, just look side to side to reflect rays back to shore.

I suppose it'd work great on a ski helmet...i was thinking of somehow making my ski helmet look like darth vader's head...that'd be nuts!
