So if someone wanted to market a WW helmet, how hard would it be to
get a hockey helmet manufacturer to make it waterproof - different glue,
no water degradable parts etc? These are minor mods.

Hockey helmets are not only moistureproof, they don't blood stain. If some
agressive opinionated paddler takes a swipe at you with a paddle you won't
feel a thing. I wear a hockey helmet all the time and I don't even own a
kayak.
