What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I trust this helmet on technical alpine climbs and long touring days because it stays comfortable without weighing me down. The dual-density foam balances impact protection with lightness, and the headlight mount is a simple feature that’s proved indispensable on early starts and late descents.”When we set out for alpine climbs or long mountain tours, the Blue Ice Blast Helmet becomes part of our rhythm on the rock and snow. At just 140 g in a medium size, it hardly feels like it’s there—until we need it. The sleek polycarbonate shell and dual-density foam construction give us confidence on exposed ridges, tricky mixed terrain, or when surprises come from above. We appreciate thoughtful details like ventilation openings that keep airflow moving on sweaty approaches and an adjustable headlight mount that means no fumbling when the sun dips behind the peaks. The adjustable chinstrap lets us dial in a secure fit that stays comfortable through long days and early starts, making the Blast Helmet an easy choice for climbers and alpinists who demand protection without bulk.
