Brain buckets are a good idea for contact sports, cycling, skiing and yes climbing. While cats may land on their feet climbers all too often might land on their head. The Black Diamond Vector helmet is designed for those situations.
It is ideal for long routes, alpine climbs and other “weight-sensitive missions” and has a “barely there” feel to it. The geometric, co-molded EPD foam and polycarbonate shell provides full-coverage protection along with plenty of ventilation. This is a truly a diamond for the rough.
