Syncro Helmet

EPS, or Expanded Polystyrene, is a lightweight foam material used in helmets for its excellent shock-absorbing properties. It helps protect your head during impacts by absorbing energy from falls or collisions, making it a crucial component for safety in climbing and other activities.

Polycarbonate is a strong and durable plastic used in the outer shell of helmets. Its impact resistance and lightweight nature help protect against external forces while keeping the helmet comfortable to wear. This combination of strength and lightness is essential for ensuring your safety during climbing.

The EN 12492 certification indicates that a climbing helmet has undergone rigorous testing and meets specific safety standards for impact resistance, penetration, and retention system effectiveness. Choosing a helmet with this certification ensures that it is safe for climbing activities and provides reliable protection.

An all-strap fitting system allows you to easily adjust the helmet for a secure and comfortable fit. This means you can modify the length or tension of the straps to accommodate your head size and shape, ensuring that the helmet stays in place during use, which is vital for safety and comfort.

Universal sizing means that the helmet is designed to fit a wide range of head sizes, specifically those between 56 and 61 centimeters in circumference. This feature makes it accessible for more climbers, as it eliminates the need for a custom fit while still providing adequate protection and comfort.

To ensure a proper fit, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and around the widest part at the back. If your measurement falls within the universal sizing range (56-61 cm), the helmet should fit well. Additionally, try on the helmet and adjust the straps for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring it doesn’t move when you shake your head.
