The importance of durability <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nHelmet durability is important but to analyse it you need to distinguish between damaged and old climbing helmets. In the case of damaged climbing helmets they will protect your head against falling things or other objects that do not have much weight, but they will not do so when it comes to larger impacts so it is advisable to replace them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we are talking about old climbing helmets, the lifespan of a helmet is limited by its material, so if the plastic of the helmets becomes brittle it cannot distribute the forces quickly. In general, the lifespan of the helmet is stated in the instructions although, in general, helmets usually last 4 or 5 years.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMultiple certificates <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nEach helmet is designed for a specific sport, which is why climbing helmets have their own certifications. To this end, it is important when purchasing a helmet to check that it has the relevant EN certifications.<\/strong>. For example, Mammut Alpine Rider<\/em> is certified both as a climbing helmet and as a ski helmet, whereas Salewa Xenon<\/em> also suitable as a multifunctional helmet for cycling, skiing and climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHelmets that are multi-certified tend to have a higher price tag but very good results that compensate for it and make it worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone who has ever seen a roped team on a wall knows why helmets often have bright colours<\/strong>are easy to detect. In some situations, this is a real advantage. Also important are the ventilation<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPros and cons of each type of climbing helmet <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe hard hulls<\/strong> have good shock absorption, durability and are well ventilated. However, they are relatively heavy and regular use can cause strain on the vertical spine and neck. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe moulded hulls <\/strong>The advantages are that they are lightweight, protect the spine and neck for those who tend to look upwards, and have better cushioning under lateral and dorsal loading. Negative points include the high exposure of the head and cervical spine during front loading and also that it is more sensitive during transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe hybrid helmets <\/strong>combine the lightness of moulded hulls and the durability of rigid hulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWherever you want, but not without my helmet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Only rarely will you see a climber without a helmet, and he or she is making a serious and potentially life-threatening mistake. Whether in alpine regions, in a climbing school or on a boulder, a helmet is essential at all times. It is not something that has to be worn just for the sake of legality, nor is it intended to inconvenience the wearer, so it is important to get a comfortable helmet that is suitable for your physical shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a solid protection of the head against falling stones or other accidents. Injuries to other limbs can be very dangerous, however, the head is an essential part of our body where blows are, more often than not, irremediable. Everything we can do to protect ourselves is essential.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Climbing helmets must comply with a safety standard, the UNE-EN 12492, and must be best suited to the type of activity we are going to carry out.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[695],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-13867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-material-escalada","post_format-post-format-image"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cascos-de-escalada_-by-walther-luecker-unsplash_800x600.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Caratula-Podcast-Maldita-Montana_1500x1500_72pp-p_.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/feed\/podcast\/maldita-montana","embedCode":"
