CAMP USA Pulse Ski and Climbing Helmet

CAMP USA Pulse Ski and Climbing Helmet description

CAMP created the Pulse Ski and Climbing Helmet for serious ski trips that involve technical pitches on the ascent followed by steep, must-not-fall runs. Rated as both a ski and a climbing helmet, the Pulse gets the job done for several pitches of steep water ice as well as a tight couloir descent. Ski mountaineers no longer have to pick between a helmet for going up or one for going down thanks to CAMP. Add vent plugs and insulated earflaps with the Pulse Winter Kit (not included).

The pulse helmet seems to have too much of a oval shape. My head measured 56 cm and the size 1 was perfect fit without the winter kit or any headgear. But pressed on the sides of my head. The size 2 fits perfect with or without any head gear.It sits extremely comfy and snug without giving any head aches.headlamp clips look flimsy and of lower quality but seems t work fine. The back light-clip is single and doesn't hold headlamps with a battery pack on the back well, but it is possible. Ski goggles fit supperp. Best of both worlds and I would strongly recommend it.

I have now tested the Pulse Helmet with goggles both with and without the optional "Winter Kit" attached. With the goggle strap properly situated under the provided keeper tab (at the rear of the helmet), the goggles fit seemlessly. This is a great/light/comforatble helmet for backcountry skiing!

This is a really beautiful helmet, very well made, light, airy, comfortable, good looking, excellent fit adjustment etc....however as soon as you put a pair of standard ski googles on over the helmet it all goes to hell...the tension in the goggle strap (even if it is adjusted to a minimum) causes the plastic fit adjuster at the rear of the helmet to dig painfully into the back of your neck....very bad design. I experimented a bit, but could find now way to resolve this serious problem. I reluctantly returned the helmet for a refund as a result.
