For paddlers who want the safety credentials of a WRSI helmet with a construction upgrade and a design that stands out on the water, the WRSI Trident Composite brings carbon-composite toughness to a sleek, personality-driven package.

Developed by the Whitewater Research and Safety Institute, the Trident is built on a rugged carbon-composite outer shell combined with a polyurethane sub-shell and EVA foam liner that works together to effectively dissipate impacts across repeated hits. The result is a helmet that's as tough as it looks, at 1.45 lbs in size M/L, without the weight penalty you might expect from a composite construction. A plush, breathable liner compresses and conforms to your head for a secure, comfortable fit and removes easily for drying, washing, or replacement.

The Interconnect Retention System self-adjusts to hold the helmet firmly in place as hydraulic forces push against it in moving water, and the adjustable O-Brace Harness conforms to the back of the head for additional positioning security. A minimalist visor adds sun shade and a clean design detail that sets the Trident apart from a standard boating helmet. CE EN 1385 certified.
