	I just started creeking and had a few people tell me that I need to get a full face helmet ASAP.  I don't see may people wearing them, even in the Green Race.  I'm not paddling heavy duty creeks yet, just class III-IV stuff like Wilson Creek, Spring Creek, maybe Watauga at low water, etc. Do I need to invest in a full face yet?

is a rubber really necessary??  You can take the chance or not.... <NT> jonas_24112 New

It just seems to me that everyone "preaches" full face, but no one actually wears them. rellufs New

but it was -9 on a run that's barely class 4 when it does have water in it. FlailingProbe New

Wait....so now Wilson Creek is only class III with water? backbonz New

I would not want anyone to see me wearing a full face unless it was a class 5.3 nightmare. Will_Carry New

I'd like to get pulled by a cop and be wearing a full face helmet...I bet he'd taze me. <NT> Will_Carry New

You'd like that, wouldn't you? <NT> HabitatMapper New

Generally speaking... the po po don't like it when we drive around in our cars wearing full face helmets... Dale New

Right. If  you are NOT paddling way beyond your skills,  you probably don't davegg New

Who wants to be the 1 % that blow out their teeth or scar their face,  think about it. <NT> hkacpa New

If 1 out of 100 paddlers ruined their faces... it would be an ugly sport. Will_Carry New

But why chance it? cbkoontz New
