I truly hope Mr. Turner isn't going to become the Tim Ingram of helmets.

This may or may not be the worlds safest whitewater helmet, but any helmet that
stays in place (which Protec does not),

Nonsense. It may not fit your head, but it fits mine fine and apparently does so
for others here, too.

provides protection from impact (which
Protec does not),

More nonsense. It may not be the most protective helmet on the market, but mine has
done the job for many years in several different activities (cycling, climbing,
paddling). While it carries a fair number of external scars, the shell is intact
and the padding is still resilient.

and is designed for whitewater (which Protec is not)

Well, you're three for three with the nonsense. The fact that the basic Protec
helmet design is adaptable to many uses is a strength, not a vice.


is welcome in the paddling community.

Sure and I said as much.

Mr. Nystrom, I am totally disgusted by your jumping in to troll a thread of
this kind.

Troll nothing. I call it as I see it and this is a pretty clear call. I truly hope
that this turns out to be a useful product, but the marketing approach they've
taken is blatantly misleading. If you can't see this, then order one and see what
happens.

whiney crap snipped

Get a grip.
