Mammut Helmets: Essential for climbing, protecting your head from impacts and hazards during adventures.
Outdoor helmets designed for climbing are essential for protecting climbers from falling debris and impacts during falls. Here’s a detailed guide focused specifically on climbing helmets:
Protection and Safety Standards:
Climbing helmets are engineered to meet rigorous safety standards to ensure protection against falling rocks and impacts. They should comply with certifications from organizations like the UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) or EN (European Norms), which guarantee that the helmets can withstand the specific types of impacts encountered in climbing.
Material and Construction:
Climbing helmets typically use lightweight materials such as polycarbonate for the outer shell and expanded polystyrene (EPS) or expanded polypropylene (EPP) for the inner liner. Polycarbonate offers excellent impact resistance, while EPS and EPP provide shock absorption. Some newer models use a hybrid construction combining both hardshell and foam elements to offer maximum protection and durability.
Ventilation:
Adequate ventilation is crucial in climbing helmets to help regulate temperature and reduce moisture inside the helmet. Look for designs with multiple ventilation holes that allow air to circulate freely, which is especially beneficial during strenuous climbs or in warm weather.
Adjustability and Comfort:
To ensure the helmet stays securely in place, it should feature adjustable straps and a rear adjustment system for a snug fit. Padding inside the helmet can greatly enhance comfort, and it's often removable and washable. Choose a helmet that sits firmly yet comfortably on your head, without shifting during movement.
Weight:
A lighter helmet is preferable for climbing because it reduces neck strain and fatigue over long periods. However, it’s important to balance weight with safety features. Typically, climbing helmets weigh between 200 to 400 grams.
Compatibility with Other Gear:
For climbers who wear glasses or need to shield their eyes, it’s important that the helmet is compatible with visors or goggles. Some helmets come with integrated clips or mounts for headlamps, which are invaluable for alpine starts or climbing in low light conditions.
When selecting a climbing helmet, consider how these features align with the type of climbing you do, whether it’s indoor, sport, trad, alpine, or ice climbing. A well-chosen helmet not only ensures your safety but also enhances your overall climbing experience.
