Climbing Helmets

Protect your ascent with a climbing helmet, the most crucial piece of safety equipment for any vertical endeavour. A helmet is your essential defence against falling rock, debris, and head injuries from an unexpected fall. It provides the security needed to climb with focus, whether you are at an indoor wall, on a sea cliff, or in the mountains.

Choosing the right rock climbing helmet depends on your discipline. Hardshell climbing helmets feature a tough outer shell for maximum resilience, making them ideal for group use and rugged environments. For those prioritising speed and low weight, a foam climbing helmet offers excellent impact absorption in a lighter package. Hybrid models blend a protective shell with a foam core, delivering a versatile, all-around performance perfect for trad and sport climbing.

Modern helmets are engineered for performance and comfort. Look for ample ventilation to keep you cool during intense climbs and a fully adjustable harness system for a secure, personalised fit. Find the perfect lightweight climbing helmet in our range to match your ambition and keep you safe on the rock.

Yes, MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is worth it as it reduces rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, minimising the risk of traumatic brain injuries. While MIPS helmets are more expensive, the added safety makes them a valuable investment for climbers.

The lifespan of a climbing helmet depends on usage and care:

 

  • Unused helmets: Up to 10 years if stored properly.
  • Regular use: Replace every 3–5 years or sooner if exposed to significant impacts or wear and tear.

 

Inspect your helmet regularly for cracks, dents, or compromised strap.

To ensure proper fit:

 

  • Adjust the harness system so it sits snugly under the curve at the back of your head.
  • The helmet should cover most of your forehead without tilting backward.
  • Test movement by slightly shifting the helmet front-to-back and side-to-side; it should remain secure without squeezing or rattling.
