Where to get a decent helmet

[Graham Cowley]

Ive been looking around for a helmet for awhile now and cant even find the older kayaking ones which Ive used on Martyns courses and that are handy for attaching torches, any advice on where I can get one?

[Eoin OBeara]

I was in Great Outdoors recently and they had some reasonable looking ones that would be adaptable. If you contact Ardhill (on YD) I know he got one and "adjusted" it to suit wrecking...

Yo E!
I was in there and seen one for mountain climbing which is the closest to what I want, Ill drop Ardhill a pm and see what he got, cheers

You could try something like this. Not sure how it could be modified but I'm sure something could be done to it.

Hell its good for everything: mountainbiking, skiing, driving while trying to catch a ferry so why not cavediving?

Looks good, few holes in the side for the torches and it'll look the part!

Graham,

See here:

I used to use one of these, the Competition, you can drill extra holes in it and because they are made to get wet, they last ages.

If yer bonce is slightly larger I would go for the Midi.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Hi Graham,

If you're looking for something simple, lightweight, compact and proven (altough not very fancy  )  I belive this is the way to go:
