...and for alpine climbing too.

By don bowie Ranked #990 - Helmets December 21, 2009

For years I've been trying to avoid the Mr. Kazoo-head look when alpine climbing- but it's unavoidable when you have to wear a balaclava and a fleece hat under a climbing helmet to stay warm. Finally, on a recent winter expedition, I figured- "Why not try a warmer helmet?" Voila. I now use the Fuse on technical terrain in cold conditions, instead of the bunched up head gear under the normal climbing hard hat. Plus, the Fuse is light enough to carry on my pack- as light as many climbing buckets- but with the warmth built in- esp with the ear covers. And, the removable ear covers come off and then vents open up to let my melon breathe on hotter days. for more images visit www.donbowie.com
