Helmets

Petzl Elios helmet. Relatively light climbing helmet, comfortable, adjustable and low profile. Also may be used for caving without any alteration or weakening if a Petzl headtorch is used, due to the excellent headtorch retaining clips. A strip of inner tube of the right size helps keep the unit in place.

Petzl Spelios integrated helmet and caving lamp. Basically a slight variant on the Elios climbing helmet, with the 14LED Duo fixed on to it. It has the good qualities of both, being a lightweight set which is comfortable to wear, easily adjustable, and basically a reliable set. The advantage of this set is that no helmet needs to be drilled to accept the torch, so no manufacturer's warranties are invalidated. Not such a consideration for personal use; but outdoor centres and clubs may be more comfortable with this solution. The helmet is available in two sizes (2 being the one that fits most adults, 1 fits children and those with small heads) and any colour, as long as it is ORANGE. If you are an outdoor centre or similar organisation please contact us for bulk order rates.
