[Paddlewise] Whitewater helmet selection

Hi all,

            Have a query on getting a helmet for river use.what are the
proper criterias for choosing a helmet? In the light of reading this article
at http://www.neuroskills.com/index.shtml?main=/pr-whitewater.shtml on the
lack of a standard for paddling helmets (in contrast to the CE standards for
climbing helmets for example), it seems that choosing a helmet is pretty
much a matter of arbitrary choice.  Any help?

 

Cheers,

Ong Yong Hui
