I gave mine away for free and bought a helmet with a flip away face and it is the best thing I ever did.

Been using a Save Phace for almost 6 years and think they work great. A lot smaller than a helmet but doesn't provide the protection factor that a helmet would. It's enough for me to keep the bugs and rain from hitting the face. You can get four different lens for them which is nice. Clear, Yellow, Smoke and Mirrored. Cool looking paint jobs too.

I bought mine for cold weather. It does well blocking most of the wind. Light weight too. If you get one consider the getting the bag to keep the lens protected while in storage lockers.

I can't see myself wearing one of those. When its cold, I wear a camo ski mask while I'm running full throttle.

Love my save phace. I have thought about ordering a spare with the sale they have going.
Helmet wearer's, think about getting spit out of the boat at 70mph and hitting the water skipping feet first. If you're lucky, you'll be paralyzed from the chin strap breaking your neck. If you aren't, it will just remove it from your shoulders. Granted, you may make it out just fine but both of those could happen a lot easier with a helmet vs something that will just fly off. Also, what if you're unconscious and the additional weight of the helmet keeps your head underwater? Water and pavement aren't the same thing and the same safety gear doesn't interchange well. You could make the same argument that hitting water at 70mph is going to be like hitting pavement. It all depends on how you land. That said, I wear a savephace when the situation warrants it.

You can get the same results from an $17.99 paintball mask.
If you are going to shell that kind of money out, get some Oakley Ski goggles. One point that seldom is discussed is the space they take up. Having 3 guys in the boat with them...talk about killing an entire storage box. I've tried to goggle thing. Rain stings on the face at 80mph. I do agree a paintball mask will probably do just as good as a savephace.

I've hit pavement and dirt faster than I care to think about anymore man, it's not how hard the object you're hitting is that is the problem. It's the fact that water will cause a spectacular amount of instantaneous drag on the base of the helmet the second you hit of you hit the water feet forward on your back. I've hit pavement from having bikes come out from under me, being hit by idiots who don't notice the bike at the stop sign, and from drunks who can't stay in their lane and run you off the road as well as MX injuries that have put me in the hospital and under the knife. Helmets have saved my life plenty of times and I'm a strong proponent of safety gear but to me, a helmet and water don't mix at all.

I'm only saying that you could also land head first where a helmet would likely be beneficial.  I too used to race MX. I've hit my head more times that I'd care to remember even if I could remember them. These days I even wear one of those retardedly ghey looking bicycle helmets when mountain biking. Also, do a google image search using the terms "drag boat". See how many of them don't have a helmet on. They hit the water far more times than we do. There must be something to the helmet.

Yes they are good, but a helmet is superior.
