NRS also sells the helmet you like. I like the above water function  
of a billed ww helmet but I was always concerned that below water the  
current would rotate the helmet away from your forehead and expose  
your skull to rocks. Color me a worrier I guess. Most of my class V  
buddies wear billed helmets and they arent dead. At least not socially.

I think a properly fitted helmet should stay in place anyway, and I _know_
that the bill can help protect your face, the bill hits rocks before your
face.
