WRSI Current Helmet
White Water Helmets
The WRSI Current Helmet is a versatile, high-performance helmet designed specifically for whitewater sports enthusiasts who demand both safety and comfort. Engineered by Whitewater Research and Safety Institute (WRSI), this helmet represents the company’s commitment to protecting paddlers of all skill levels. It features a multi-impact ABS plastic shell that provides durable protection against impacts, while the EVA foam liner and polyurethane sub-shell work together to disperse and absorb shock. This layered construction helps reduce the force of both direct hits and smaller, repeated knocks, giving paddlers peace of mind as they navigate fast-moving rivers.
Comfort is a key focus of the WRSI Current Helmet, and it shows in the details. The helmet includes an interior padding system that is not only soft against the skin but also adjustable, allowing users to customise the fit to their head shape. The O-Brace harness system cradles the back of the head for additional stability, preventing the helmet from shifting during intense manoeuvres. Ventilation ports are integrated into the shell to help regulate temperature and keep air circulating, making it suitable for long days on the water without overheating.
The WRSI Current is also designed with style and practicality in mind. Its sleek, low-profile silhouette reduces bulk without sacrificing coverage, ensuring a secure fit that doesn’t interfere with movement. Available in a variety of colours, it allows paddlers to choose a look that matches their gear or personality. The helmet’s retention system ensures it stays in place even in turbulent water, giving paddlers the confidence to focus fully on their performance rather than on adjustments.
Overall, the WRSI Current Helmet strikes an excellent balance between protection, comfort, and style. It is a go-to choice for kayakers, rafters, and other whitewater adventurers who need reliable headgear that won’t compromise on performance. Whether you’re running steep creeks, tackling big-volume rapids, or guiding on calmer rivers, the Current is built to keep you safe and comfortable through every splash and impact.
