Climbing Helmet Salewa Pura 2.0 Lunar Rock S/M — protective helmet for mountaineering and via ferrata

The Salewa Pura 2.0 Lunar Rock S/M is a protective climbing helmet designed for mountaineering, rock climbing and via ferrata. It combines a robust outer shell with internal impact-absorbing elements and an adjustable fit to provide reliable head protection on technical routes and alpine approaches. The helmet's dimensions and retention system are tuned for the S/M size range to offer stability and comfort during movement and when wearing other outdoor equipment.

Advantages

The helmet offers a durable hard-shell construction that distributes impact forces and resists abrasion from rock and gear contact. An adjustable retention system enables a secure, personalized fit, while ventilation channels help regulate temperature during effort. Its design balances protection and low weight to reduce fatigue on long climbs, and compatibility with headlamps and eyewear improves functionality on varied terrain.

Suitable for

• Alpine mountaineering and multi-pitch rock climbing where impact resistance is required
• Via ferrata routes and exposed scrambles requiring a secure fit
• Approach hikes and technical ridge traverses where low weight and ventilation are beneficial
• Climbers who use headlamps or carry eyewear and need helmet compatibility

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is intended for climbing and mountaineering activities; it is not certified or intended for use in activities with different impact profiles such as motorcycling or industrial head protection. Users with head sizes outside the S/M range should seek an appropriately sized model to ensure correct protection and fit.

Key specifications

• Intended use: mountaineering, rock climbing, via ferrata
• Shell type: hard-shell construction for abrasion resistance
• Size range: S/M fit (designed for small to medium head circumferences)
• Ventilation: integrated vents to aid airflow during activity
• Retention: adjustable retention system for secure fit
• Weight: designed to balance protection with low weight for reduced fatigue
• Accessory compatibility: provisions for headlamps and eyewear

How to use

Place the helmet on your head so the front edge sits just above the eyebrows. Adjust the retention system and chin strap until the helmet feels secure and does not shift during head movement. Ensure straps lie flat against the head and buckle the chin strap, leaving enough room to fit one or two fingers between the strap and the chin. Before each use inspect the shell and straps for cracks, deep scratches or damage and replace the helmet if it has been subjected to a significant impact or shows visible deterioration.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your head circumference against the S/M size range to ensure a proper fit
• Check that the helmet has the required certification for climbing and mountaineering in your region
• Consider ventilation needs and compatibility with headlamps or eyewear you typically use

Usage recommendations

Use the helmet for climbing, via ferrata and alpine approaches only. Regularly inspect for damage, avoid dropping the helmet, and replace it after a significant impact or when visible wear compromises protective components.
