As with all things, each type has its advantages and disadvantages, we will be looking onto the foam helmet here.</p> <p>Foam Helmets are comparable to bicycle helmets. They mainly consist of foam, usually EPS, to bear the force of an impact, and then have a tiny layer of polycarbonate to protect against minor bumps and bruises. Foam helmets are usually the lightest option, but in this case light weight means more fragile and higher costs.</p> <p>The choices are endless and difficult today so contact our <a href="/contact-us">Customer Service</a> or <a href="mailto:info@caspersclimbingshop.com">send us a mail</a> to help you choose the right product for your needs. </p> <p></p> <p>Shop online.........more time to climb.</p> <p></p> <p>Casper's Supports Your Summit</p>
