Oakley WTR Icon Surf Helmet For Protection In The Water
The Oakley WTR Icon is a surf helmet from Oakley's water sports lineup, made for riders who want head protection without giving up feel for the wave or the board underneath them. It is the kind of gear people search for by name once they already know Oakley's water line, and it earns a spot in that category here.
What A Surf Helmet Like This Is Built To Do
A surf helmet exists to protect against the two most common impact risks in the water: a hard bottom such as reef or rock, and a rider's own board or fin during a wipeout. Riders wear one specifically in shallow or rocky breaks, when learning new maneuvers, or any time the consequence of a hit to the head is higher than the inconvenience of wearing protection.
Who Reaches For The WTR Icon
This helmet fits riders across the water sports spectrum our shop serves, from surfers dropping into unfamiliar or reef-lined breaks to anyone behind the boat who wants the same head protection at speed. Because it comes from Oakley's own water line rather than a general sport helmet, it is built with time actually spent in the water in mind.
Wearing And Caring For A Water Helmet
Rinse a surf or water helmet in fresh water after every session to clear salt and sand before they can work into the padding or straps, and let it air dry fully out of direct sun rather than leaving it sealed in a bag while still wet. Check the strap and closure before each use, since a loose fit undermines the protection a helmet like this is meant to provide. Store it somewhere it will not get crushed between sessions.
