Vision
Description
Featuring a durable construction thanks to the composite EPP foam with EPS foam puck, and polycarbonate shell, the Vision is our most durable foam helmet, featuring touchpoints purpose-built for climbing, such as integrated headlamp clips for alpine starts or evening sends, and improved side and back coverage for added protection.
The most durable foam helmet in the Black Diamond line-up, the Vision helmet features a fusion of EPP foam, an EPS foam puck, and a polycarbonate shell, which keeps the dings and dents at bay, while remaining incredibly lightweight at just 210 grams. Improved side and back coverage add a new level of protection that meets proposed UIAA requirements, while the strategically placed ventilation ports keep the air flowing when temps are high. The suspension system and chin strap keep the Vision sleek, and the integrated headlamp clips are low-profile so they don’t snag on over-the-shoulder slings and allow you to easily light the way on sends that push past the daylight hours.
- Low-profile suspension system

Vision Helmet Review
How to use Black Diamond Helmets, inspection, warnings, care and maintenence with instructional pictures.
A pictoral representation of the UIAA-106 and EN-12492 standards for helmets.
The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
