Mammut Wall Rider Helmet

The Mammut Wall Rider is an excellent lightweight climbing helmet that is more durable than a traditional foam helmet. The EPP foam protects the head well, and it’s comfortable to wear. Although the Wall Rider is slightly more expensive than a traditional hybrid plastic/foam helmet, I think the increase in durability and head coverage is worth the extra money.

Given the marginal price difference, significant increase in durability, and zero trade off in protection, I don’t see any reason to still buy an EPS helmet, and I’m not sure that there is a better climbing helmet on the market than the Wall Rider given its combination of durability and weight.
