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.
Those who enjoy rock climbing maybe inspired to grab one of the glasses from CruzMugs. Each one features an artificial climbing hold. While it could actually make it harder to get a grip on the glass we’re sure those who frequent climbing walls might like it.
Cycling computers can do it all these days, but that’s not always a good thing. Cyclists – especially at the pro level – aren’t all generalists or general classification riders. There are sprinters and there are climbers too, and the latter could use some specialized equipment.
