For any of you people who go caving, what kind of headgear do you wear? (i just got an elios for x-mas, that's what prompted it)

A Joe Brown type clone that I bought from
Bob and Bob about 11 years ago.

It still has the UIAA sticker on it and a
Speleotechnics lamp holder on the front.
Inner Mountain has a good selection of caving
helmets.

I want the new Petzl explorer helmet. I like the fact that it has 3 different types of lights that are all removable so you can just use the Ecrin roc climbing helmet.

Caving helmet, a combination of three excellent products: the Ecrin Roc adjustable helmet, the Duo head lamp and the Aceto light. The Aceto light lasts for 12 hours with its low-delivery acetylene jet. When electric lighting is more advantageous, you can play with the dual capacity of the Duo lamp: powerful halogen light or more economical standard light. Both these light sources are mounted on the Ecrin Roc helmet.

Here is a link to see it:

The orange is soo much cooler than Colt 45's blue Half-Dome.

I would love to get the same helmet as Firediver, but I would also gladly take a spelios

Oh if anyone doesn't know what a spelios is....it is the same helmet that mjames just got but it comes with a duo 8 light mounted to it.

Thats pretty much what I have, an elios and a Duo14.

The spelios has been upgraded and no longer comes with the Duo8 but rather the Duo14.

I have an ELIOS, and I use a MYO XP and TIKKA PLUS (with red filter) with it. Perfectly happy with that combo.

Hey, I just picked up a Petzl Elios at Dynamic Earth a couple of days ago. It was the last one they had in stock, and I'm not thrilled about the color (it's kind of a light blue), but I like the helmet a lot, and it's my first real caving helmet (not counting plain old hardhats).

Now I just need to get a high-caliber headlamp for it. Right now I'm stuck with my $12 Energizer craplamp. I'm not made of money like some of you people.

When I need money, I have a garage sale. it's amazing how many people want your junk.
