Helmets anyone?

Helmets Evaluation:
I wanted to bring the helmets topic forward since we have been spending a significant amount of time trying, testing and evaluating different designs and vendors.
There is a great variety of qualities and pricing. You can find anywhere from the $29 thin padding, non compliant helmets, to the $120+ composite material multi-standard compliant versions.
There are various features that create adjustable fitment, better retension, removable components such as visors and ear flaps, even waterproof earphone integration for your waterproof mp3 player =D>
There are three brands that we have been most successful with. Each of them for different reasons though.
I am attaching some photos and link for you to further review:
Pro-tec Ace Wake:
Your typical, mostly used plastic helmet with substantial padding and great fitment. The helmet that has sold the most this year:

Capix Wake Cap:
One of the coolest designs out there. Sponsoring the Pointless Wakeboarding team for a second term. Thinner plastic construction, with good fitment options (removable pads etc), with fairly thin but decenlty comfortable inner layer.

ShredReady:
Probably the saffest protection for your brain! There are composite models which are pricy but are significantly stronger, and plastics.
Padding is compatible to the Pro-tec, and they are feature-rich. The designs and product names are as good as the actual products
