What helmet is the bestest?

[Sevsafe]

you might like to consider our latest addition http://www.sevsafe.co.uk/acatalog/Climbing_Safety_Helmets.html the Puma in particular is very light - only just over half the weight of the Vertex

Doesnt look like it takes ear muffs though?

True for the Puma. I'm looking at getting the Combi with muffs/visor. This is still light just not quite as light as the Puma. You can always wear specs and ear plugs?

That Puma looks lush, my only concern with it would perhaps be the chance of penetration in those large vents? Aside from that looks excellent.

Wow, cool idea salsb. I would like to try that combo out. Definite potential for those hot summer days.

Thought i'd jump on this one as i have tried lots.

 

i used to use and Edelrid one in Austria during the winter but it was a bit battered for use here so bought the petzle vertex when it first came out.

 

I found it a bit slidey on my head and it really got on my nerves, the ear defenders kept popping out too so i ended up screwing them in. After a month or so i went straight to the Edeldid importers and got an arblight set from them as i spent more time shifting the helmet on my head than i did cutting!

 

Suits my head much better and alot more bomb proof in my mind. Outdoor ed. centres use them for kid because of there robustness.

 

I struggled to get one from a retailer but i'm sure someone does them?

 

I would advise students or anyone who hasn't used a vertex to try it first as the she sizing doesn't go small enough for me and many others i have seen.

I had exactly the same problem Kipperfeet. Doesn't create a relaxed workplace when your lid is swinging around more than you are!

I saw the Eldrid at the A.A. show but the £98 price tag scared me off.

So is it true I can't take a cs38/39 with my trusty Husky arb helmet?

Cool, in that case I don't need to buy one after all. The mango shall live on!
