NRS, a manufacturer and distributor of inflatable watercraft and paddling gear, is taking over WRSI, which has developed and patented a range of medium-priced whitewater helmets, in combination with John Hopkins University. WRSI is said to have set a new industry standard for impact and anti-rotational safety. NRS will sell WRSI's helmets through its distribution network, starting with this week's Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City.
