Our bestselling helmet for whitewater and Coast to Coast.

When you're paddling hard, heat build-up under your helmet can become a real problem. That’s where the Sweet Wanderer shines. With built-in ventilation ports across the top and a moisture-wicking CoolMax® liner, it keeps your head cool and comfortable on long, hot days — without compromising on protection. Like its premium sibling the Rocker, the Wanderer boasts a best-in-class 5-star safety rating from Virginia Tech, thanks to its carbon-reinforced shell and multi-impact EPP liner. The tough ABS outer shell shrugs off knocks, while the Occigrip system gives a stable, secure fit that adjusts easily. This helmet is ideal for paddlers who want top-level safety in a cooler, more breathable package. Whether you're a whitewater paddler or a Coast to Coast athlete, the Wanderer is a reliable all-rounder. It’s our bestselling whitewater helmet here at Canterbury Kayaking for good reason.

Wanderer Helmet

I had been wearing my husbands older helmet and one try of this helmet and it was so incredibly comfortable - like a cuddle for my head 😁 It doesn’t move when I take a flip or swim and I feel very protected for a mid range price point.

Very Comfortable

A great fitting helmet is super important because it’s an item you don’t even want to think about - And the Wanderer was perfect for me… and I have a very generous head, that needs a helmet with that little bit extra to fit everything in snugly and comfortably. Highly recommend!

Wanderer Helmet

I purchased the wanderer helmet for my 15 year old son. I chose the wanderer helmet as it fitted him really well and he tells me it is very comfortable. As a mother my son’s safety is paramount and I have confidence in this helmet.
