Default World's Safest Whitewater Helmet

This may or may not be the worlds safest whitewater helmet, but any helmet
that
stays in place (which Protec does not), provides protection from impact
(which
Protec does not), and is designed for whitewater (which Protec is not) is
welcome in the paddling


community.



I have to agree with Brian on this one. While I'm not of the opinion that
Protec is the ultimate in head protection, it works OK and has protected many a
head from injury, including mine. Mine does fit and it has provided impact
protection. Could it be better? Yes, of course it could.


Well, Protec's been through a few changes. Current Protec helmets
have a two-point strap attachment, but a few years back, that wasn't
so. Anecdotally, it seems the change in the strap has made a real
difference in how well the helmet stays in place -- and there are
still a lot of one-strap Protecs out there.
