Switched from a standard Kirby Morgan to a Gorski helmet for a month of harbor work
The Gorski's lower profile and better field of view around pilings in Seattle made a huge difference for spotting hazards. Anyone else made a helmet switch that changed their game?

Seattle's harbor has those tight spaces between old wooden pilings, maybe 18 inches in some spots. @calebh90, the bulk isn't just about size, it's about how the helmet catches current and pulls your whole head. A slimmer shell lets you turn against the flow without fighting it as hard. That's less neck strain over a 10-hour shift, which is a total game changer.

Wait, you're working in Seattle harbor with all that current and boat traffic? That sounds insane lol. I can't believe the helmet change made that big of a difference just from being slimmer. Makes me wonder how bulky the old one must have been.
