The Pulse helmet by C.A.M.P. looks really good with its double rating, but being designed for winter sports i'm wondering if it would be too warm for summer climbing. Does anyone know? thanks, Brian HI

With regards to the headlamp conundrum, Petzl is a pretty big head torch brand over here in Europe and they do a series of adaptors. Have a look at: http://en.petzl.com/petzl/LampesNews?News=147 Between myself and my GF we have the Tikka and Myo XP which are bright and also the Black Diamond Spot. The tikka xp is similar to the BD spot while the Myo xp is definately a step brighter. I use any of the 3 for night trail running, navigation, a bit of biking and climbing. Cheers, Dave Hi there, many thanks for the links, I’ll get on to those.

Rando, I should have mentioned that. Will edit. We take those straps off because they tangle up on everything when we're not using helmets, and usually don't have them with us, so our helmets need to work without them. Thanks for mentioning that! Our modified gear gets the better of us sometimes! P.S. Too many recent dawn patrols have temporarily compromised my cognitive abilities. Apologies. Whoops! Rando, I should have mentioned that.

I was not psyched about the headlamp attachement system until I added that strap. With tension, it seems to pull the "around the head" strap up into those little clips. Mine is much more secure now.
