Comments about WRSI Current Helmet With Vents:
The video posted on NRS about how to customize the helmet is really good and almost necessary to watch before doing this on your own. With the video I was able to do the customization in about 45 minutes of trying the helmet on with different configurations.

Comments about WRSI Current Helmet With Vents:
I was at the top of the Small size so ordered up to Medium. I should have stayed with the Small as it took all the pads to make the Medium fit. The chin strap buckle is a bit uncomfortable where it is placed. Overall a good helmet.

Comments about WRSI Current Helmet With Vents:
If you are getting started in class II/III whitewater this is the helmet for you until you get a full face helmet.
If you are going to be a summertime only boater get the white helmet to reflect the sun and keep your brain cooler.
Be sure to properly fit/install the brace in the back/neck. This is what keeps the forehead from getting exposed after your initial hit.
This helmet has taken several hits for me.

Comments about WRSI Current Helmet With Vents:
I found that if you are thinking of getting this product and your head size falls right in the middle of the two groups (S/M, M/L) you should deffinetly go for the S/M. i made the mistake of getting a M/L and then trying on my friends S/M only to find the S/M was a perfect fit, and with all the padding on the M/L i could not get it to come any where near acceptable. so just a heads up.

Comments about WRSI Current Helmet With Vents:
After borrowing a friends old Protech a few times I decided to buy this helmet. The optional padding makes fitting it a breeze. This helmet is much more comfortable than the Protech. I haven't swam yet while wearing it, but I'm sure that will come soon.

Q:
I have a white version large helmet on backorder. Do you have any idea when it will be available? It was part of a group buy and I have not received any estimate as to when it will be fulfilled.
