Climbing Helmets

The primary purpose of a mountaineering or climbing helmet is to provide protection against falling rocks. It is important that both the climber and the belayer each wear a helmet.

Climbers frequently look for a helmet that is compatible with headlamps, especially if the are climbing multipitch routes. A climbing helmet should fit snugly so it won't slip or move as you move, but it should not fit so tight as to cause any kind of discomfort.
