Blending the best of durability and weight, the Petzl Elios Climbing Helmet is excellent for multipurpose mountain endeavors. The polycarbonate shell and impact-absorbing closed cell foam liner is long lasting, lightweight, and doesn’t feel like a milk bucket after 17hrs on route. Highly aerated with ten vents, a single wheel-ratchet at the back allows for easy adjustment along with a quick tab buckle chinstrap. Four headlamp clips help keep your mountain perspective when your watch runs on to 28hrs after a descending miscue. Whether climbing rock, ice, or mixed alpine terrain the Elios is the quintessential noggin protector.
Bern Macon Water Carbon Helmet
A favorite among top shredders and immensely popular for those just getting started, the Bern Macon Water Carbon Helmet protects your dome with a lightweight and durable carbon fiber shell so that you don’t suffer the concussion when you catch an edge taking you off-axis 3 to blind 5. A low profile design created to stay in place and protect; the Macon Water Carbon Helmet was designed with two stage foam construction. Waterproof eva comfort foam combined with multiple impact Brock foam dries quickly and doesn’t retain moisture so that your bucket won’t be soaked when you’re in the middle of a back to back session.
Giro Sport Design Xen Mountain Bike Helmet
The original and now iconic all-mountain Giro Xen Cycling Helmet and its smooth low-profile style hints at skate-style influence, but its big vents, light weight, and expanded rear coverage define it as a high performance helmet for today’s hardcore mountain biker.
