Cassin "Mercury" helmet

The Cassin "Mercury"is a radically designed helmet, with a polycarbonate shell and moulded polyethylene foam inside to absorb impact. It has a fully adjustable harness, and the internal headband adjusts on a nifty little sliding device. It is extremely rigid, which gives good protection in the event of a side impact, and protrudes at the front to protect the face. An extremely tough helmet, and one of the lightest available, at around 280 grams. There is no better helmet available. The Mercury comes in two sizes, small-medium and medium-large. UIAA and CE approved. Colour is petrol blue.

Cassin "Rock" helmet

The Cassin "Rock" is a UIAA and CE approved helmet that is very popular with instruction groups. Made from polypropylene, with a fully adjustable harness system. Unlike most lower-priced helmets, the Rock helmet has good sideways rigidity for protection from side impact. It is fitted with shock-cord headlamp attachments. Weight is 370 grams, colour white or red.

Blue Eagle helmet

The Blue Eagle helmet is included in our range as a budget alternative for instruction groups, at about half the price of a regular climbing helmet. It has a solid ABS shell, with supplementary polystyrene foam and with a fully adjustable harness system. There is a small brim all round to improve protection, and to increase rigidity for protection from side impact. Weight 450 grams, colour is white.
