Half Dome Helmet - women's

ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a strong and durable plastic used in helmet manufacturing. Its impact resistance makes it ideal for protective gear, ensuring that the helmet can withstand falls and impacts while keeping your head safe during climbing or other activities.

EPS, or Expanded Polystyrene, is a lightweight foam that absorbs shock during impacts. It is typically found in the inner lining of helmets, helping to reduce the force transmitted to your head in case of a fall, thereby enhancing overall safety.

A fit dial is an adjustable mechanism in helmets that allows you to easily tighten or loosen the fit. This ensures that the helmet sits snugly on your head, which is crucial for both comfort and safety during activities like climbing, as a well-fitted helmet is less likely to shift during use.

CE/EN and UIAA certifications indicate that a helmet has met rigorous safety standards. CE (Conformité Européenne) and EN (European Norm) are European safety standards, while UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) is specific to climbing gear. Helmets with these certifications have undergone testing to ensure they provide reliable protection.

The Half Dome Helmet is designed specifically for climbing, offering a combination of safety, comfort, and lightweight construction. Its shape and design provide excellent coverage and protection, making it a trusted choice in the climbing community for both amateur and professional climbers.

A properly fitting helmet should sit level on your head, with the front edge just above your eyebrows. You should be able to adjust the fit dial for a snug feel without discomfort. When you shake your head, the helmet should stay in place without shifting. Always refer to the manufacturer's sizing guide for the best fit.
