A helmet that stays in place with every head movement

Climbing helmets accompany you while sport climbing on rock and on longer alpine routes. When choosing a helmet, the most important thing is that it fits the shape of your head and can be adjusted reliably. A model that feels comfortable while standing should also be tested while looking up and moving your head from side to side. It should stay securely in place and restrict your field of vision as little as possible.

Try on a climbing helmet with your gear

Head circumference is a starting point, but it doesn’t tell the whole story about fit. So compare several shapes and adjust the headband and chin strap according to the instructions. If you use a headlamp for early starts or a thin beanie in cold weather, be sure to factor these in when trying on the helmet. Ventilation openings, inner padding, and adjustment mechanisms all affect how comfortable a helmet is to wear over the course of a long day.

• Fit: Does the helmet stay in place when you move?
• Adjustment: Can the headband and chin strap be adjusted to fit properly?
• Ventilation: Does the design suit the temperature and nature of the ride?
• Inspection: Are the relevant areas accessible for condition checks?

Choose based on your planned climbing day

A sunny climbing area has different comfort requirements than a long day on a shady Alpine face. Therefore, compare climbing helmets based on your actual use. You’ll also find climbing harnesses to complement your gear. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for use, storage, and replacement, especially after a significant impact. Explore the models and take the time to carefully assess the fit.
