Does anyone have any experience with WRSI kayak helmets?
Comfortable?
Are they adjustable?
Are they suitable for a longish skull. (I do not have a round head.)
What is customer service like?


There are threads about this on Boatertalk and other discussion boards.

Last week there was an NPR story about Gil Turner, whose son died
kayaking the North Fork Payette, leading Gil to found this company.
They worked with Johns Hopkins University to research helmet design.
Their website has a challenge to Protec that seems legally inadvisable
to me, though I'm no laywer.

My opinion is that WRSI helmets should have more ear and cortex protection
than they do. My Protec has saved me at least four times, and one time
was a sharp blow to the right ear.

I think it would be difficult for anyone to answer your questions Tim,
because the WRSI helmet has not started shipping, last I heard.
