I've told about my helmet before, but now I got some pictures of it
online. Check out my foldable helmet:

It is not as good as a solid helmet, but it can protect me from quite
some damage. I don't use it for a full day of whitewater kayakking or
surf kayakking, but on sea trips that may or may not end up in a bit of
surf, and I don't feel like dragging along that enourmous ball of hard
plastic, this one is a great in-between. Feel free to copy it, if you
can.
