Description:
A water helmet built to stay put when the current pulls on it. The WRSI Current Helmet (NRS item 43000.03) layers a multi-impact shell, EVA foam liner and polyurethane sub-shell, then holds it all in place with the Interconnect Retention System that self-adjusts under hydraulic force. It is a strong choice for swiftwater technicians, raft guides and kayakers. Browse our water and rescue helmets.
