Wearing a climbing helmet is essential for arborists, rock climbers, or any other safety-minded adventurer. High-quality climbing helmets have a hard outer shell and shock-absorbing interior foam to provide greater protection from debris, slips, and falls. At SGT KNOTS, we offer the best climbing helmets for optimal safety and head protection.

Top Reasons to Rock a Climbing Helmet 

Climbing helmets are an essential safety accessory for anyone engaging in climbing activity, from arborists scaling trees for work to rock climbers scaling boulders for sport. A climbing helmet is designed to protect your head in the event of a fall, but there are other use cases as well: protection from loose rocks, ice, tree branches, or climbing hardware falling from above and protection from hitting your head should you swing into a wall. 

How to Choose a Climbing Helmet 

Choosing the right climbing helmet is important–not only does it need to provide adequate protection, but it must be lightweight and comfortable too. When it comes to how to choose a climbing helmet, look for features such as adjustable straps, superior ventilation, and adaptable padding on the interior. In addition to comfort and practicality, check out the helmets' certifications and think of your safety and well-being before anything else.

Climbing Helmets FAQ

A climbing helmet is one of the most critical pieces of arborist gear and for climbers in general. From recreational rock climbers to cave rescuers and everyone in between, these helmets allow you to pursue your passion and profession with greater peace of mind. 

How Should a Climbing Helmet Fit?

Finding the right helmet involves more than skimming through product reviews and comparing prices. It's important to ensure your selected helmet fits correctly. So, how should a climbing helmet fit? If a climbing helmet fits correctly, it should rest firmly on your head without being too tight or loose. You should not be able to fit more than two fingers between the front of the helmet and your forehead. When fastening the chin strap, you should not be able to fit more than one finger between the strap and your chin. The helmet should fit snugly but still be comfortable enough to move around without feeling tension or pinching. 

Can You Use a Climbing Helmet for Biking?

Climbing helmets are designed to provide protection in the event of a fall, while cyclists need a helmet that can protect them from collisions and unexpected impacts on the road or terrain. So, can you use a climbing helmet for biking? When it comes to your safety, it's best to purchase the appropriate gear for each activity: a climbing helmet for climbing and bouldering and an approved bike helmet for cycling. Bike helmets are tested to meet established safety standards, which address impact management, strap strength, and chinstrap integrity—so using a climbing helmet when cycling might not provide you with the necessary protection.
