For years, I've used the Sweet Rocker and still do. I absolutely love it. However, the price tag on this premium helmet is steep for many budget conscious kayakers, or for anyone new to the sport just starting to buy gear.
The trick is: how do you get a great helmet that will do the job required without breaking the bank? Enter the WRSI Current Pro paddling helmet. I chose this helmet for our instructing team's gear.
After three or four uses, I'm really stoked on this paddling helmet. The air protection and adjustable sun visor are great touches. The ear protection is really solid and the insulation is great too.
The outfitting in the helmet is cushy and comfortable. And the double layer ABS helmet shell makes you feel like this thing can take a hit or two.
But there are some things to be aware of with the WRSI Current Pro.
I've had to play around with the sizing a bit. At the start, I found this helmet wanted to roll forward on my head whenever I flipped over, which is obviously less than ideal. However, with some adjustments in the strap, I resolved that particular issue.
Now, the other thing is that I've always taken a medium / large helmet in every model I've ever owned. I feel like I'm generally on the larger end of helmet size.
The medium / large WRSI Current Pro feels kind of big out of the box for me. And the small /medium is a little too small.
Overall though, this is a super safe, amazingly priced helmet, a fantastic option for kayakers and paddlers looking to protect their head and not break the bank in the process.
