Black Diamond Tracer £69.99
A sleek, well-fitting helmet that offers protection and comfort in equal measures. An ergonomically-shaped polycarbonate shell absorbs the impacts while the new Micro-Adjust suspension system provides precise fitting with one-handed adjustability. A padded brow and ventilation system add to the comfort. Low-profile headlamp clips hold a head torch securely - even in those tight chimneys. Lightweight and superb value. One size. Weight 345g.
Incredibly light and strong, the Tracer is ideal for alpinists and climbers who are moving fast. Comfort, lightness and strength are achieved by co-moulding an EPS foam with a polycarbonate shell while open and meshed-protected vents provide excellent ventilation in warmer conditions. The on-hand quickadjust headband system ensures a perfect fit.
