Epileptic Head Gear

Im personally struck by how something as commonplace as going on a vacation can turn into an ordeal for a person suffering from epilepsy. The most attractive looking helmet I have seen is the "Plument", and thats not saying much. I'm also surprised by how many people have the disorder- 300 Million americans, roughly 1 in 100 peples. For more statistics check the link below.

"Suitable helmets are commercially available through sporting good stores, medical supply companies, and the rehabilitation departments of some hospitals. Hockey helmets (CCM and Bauer) are one of the best choices. They offer maximal protection, come in a variety of colors, fit all age groups (except infants) and can be purchased and fitted in any sporting goods store."
