Energy absorbtion

 

Things falling ? Or from your body ?

My energy definitely fell

The purpose of the helmet is to prevent or limit damage from impact whether that be from a an independent moving object or the wearer striking another object.

Its not good when you cant keep your energy up, perhaps a visit to a doctor? :001_smile:

I didn't think you had to have a prescription for the little blue pill

Of all the things climbing related I've bought since back end of last year, a helmets not one of em..

 

So bin reading this thread with interest... couple of things to note..

 

Safety glasses rather than visor, and ear muffs... I can't stand anything stuck in my ears, and didn't think about a visor catching branches and becoming an annoyance..

 

 

The visor does protect your face especially when chipping! I would say it's a must for beginners. The built in safety glasses for the petzl helmet works great and doesn't steam up like a lot of the safety glasses do! Shite in the rain tho.

vertex for me, new one has them chipper ear defenders on...they seem massive but you could stand next to the chipper on full chat and it not blast your ears at all.

I wear dragon helmet with Peltor fitting, very similar to kask / stein plasma. Rather padded though but washable
