When it is time to get on the rocks and climb, it is only wise that you do not go unprepared. By preparation here, we mean getting duly equipped with protective gear. This preparation gets you in shape and ready for the fun and adventure ahead. Thanks to the protective gear you have got, you can be confident of your safety. This way, you wouldn’t miss out on anything.
One of the most essential safety equipment is the bump helmet.
Bump helmets are tactical helmets developed to give you that utmost protection from shrapnel, crashes, and tumbling debris. These tactical helmets are the perfect choice for those involved in sports like base jumping, climbing, biking, spelunking, mountaineering, and many other action sports.
Note: Don’t get carried away, these helmets are not made to resist gunfire protection.
Here are some specifications you must be on the lookout for when you go out to get one of these tactical bump helmets.
Specification Tips
- Be sure the bump helmet you will get has been tested, and check out the test results.
- Always go for lightweight bump helmets, so you do not get uneasy when you wear your helmet.
- Ensure you get a tactical helmet that provides space for accessories. That adds to the thrills.
- Bump helmets with strips of loops for attachment on the top and the flanks are preferable.
- It is an add-on when you get a bump helmet with a front mount to aid your vision in the dark.
- Be on the lookout for adjustable bump helmets. They are easier to use and more comfortable.
- Ensure your bump helmet is well padded. The padding increases protection and comfort.
- Watch out for proof of compliance to be sure “your head is in safe hands.”
Whichever bump helmet you get that has all of these specifications is certainly a good buy. Mountaineering is already not the easiest of sports, don’t add the wrong bump helmet to your kit; you will only make it worse!
