Climbing Helmet Salewa Pura 2.0 Helmet – Onyx, Size S/M

The Salewa Pura 2.0 Helmet in Onyx, size S/M, is a lightweight climbing helmet designed for mountaineering, rock climbing and alpine approaches. It balances low weight with impact protection and a secure fit, making it suitable for technical climbs and via ferrata routes where head protection and comfort over extended periods are important.

Advantages

The helmet offers a compact profile and integrated adjustment system that helps achieve a snug fit across different head shapes. Its construction provides reliable protection against impacts and falling debris while maintaining breathability and a low overall weight for reduced neck strain during long tours. The design includes features that support compatibility with headlamps and harnessed accessories.

Suitable for

• Rock climbing on single- and multi-pitch routes
• Mountaineering and alpine ridges
• Via ferrata and exposed scrambling
• Approach walks and light trekking where head protection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is intended for climbing, mountaineering and similar outdoor activities; it may not be appropriate for high-speed cycling, motorized sports, or industrial safety applications that require certification to specific non-climbing standards. For users who require very large sizes or specialized helmet features (for example heavy-duty winter insulation), alternative models may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Intended use: climbing, mountaineering, via ferrata
• Size: S/M (designed to fit a range of head circumferences within the S/M size band)
• Weight: lightweight construction to minimize fatigue (typical for this helmet class)
• Ventilation: ventilated shell for airflow during activity
• Adjustment: integrated fit adjustment system for secure, customizable fit
• Compatibility: headlamp attachment points and accessory-ready design

How to use

Place the helmet on the head so that it sits level and covers the forehead without tilting backward. Use the integrated adjustment system to tighten the fit until the helmet is snug but comfortable; adjust the chin strap so it sits firmly under the chin and the side buckles form a V-shape under the ears. Periodically check fit and strap condition before each climb and after impacts. Clean the helmet with mild soap and water and store it away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve materials.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm head circumference and that S/M corresponds to your size range
• Check that the helmet meets relevant climbing safety standards for your region
• Decide if ventilation level and weight meet your comfort needs for longer routes
• Ensure compatibility with any headlamps or accessories you plan to use

Usage recommendations

Inspect the helmet before every use for cracks, deep dents or damaged straps. Replace the helmet after a significant impact or when signs of material degradation appear. For prolonged cold-weather use, consider a thin liner under the helmet rather than modifying the shell.
