When you're charging through whitewater or racing the Waimak, you need a helmet that gives you total confidence. The Sweet Protection Rocker is the top choice for paddlers who want the highest level of protection without compromising on comfort or versatility. Its TLC shell construction combines rigid carbon fibre with tough thermoplastic to absorb impact where it matters most, earning it a best-in-class 5-star safety rating from Virginia Tech. The fit is secure and dialled-in thanks to the no-roll Occigrip tensioning system, and the CoolMax® liner helps keep you dry and focused all day. Designed for year-round performance, the Rocker includes removable ear pads and a detachable visor so you can customise it for both winter and summer use. At Canterbury Kayaking, this is the go-to helmet for all our instructors and guides — because when you’re one mistake away from hitting a rock, you want protection you can trust.
