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.
Whilst creatures of the night such as vampires can see in the dark, those not of the undead are (dare we say) blind as bat after nightfall. We’ve noted many products that help shine the way, and another option is the “Sprinter Headlamp” from Black Diamond. This is an LED light that is worn as a headband and offers 75 lumens of light.
