I think we're all waiting for the good idea too!  Having paddled mostly
along the California coast, and having played in the sea caves and rock
gardens, I find carrying a helmet in between needing it to be a drag
(sometimes literally!)

I have found that my composite helmet, without much ear coverage, sits flat
on the deck and tends to stay in place much better than the plastic full ear
model (the difference being the full ear part, not the material, off
course).  And the green glitter fade on the composite helmet makes me hard
to miss!
